Sidamon-Eristoff (born February 20, 1963) is a Georgian American Republican Party lawyer, politician and government official from New York City who served as New Jersey State Treasurer under Governor Chris Christie from January 2010 until his resignation in July 2015. He previously served as Commissioner of Tax and Finance under New York State Governor George E.

Eristoff graduated from Princeton University with honors in 1985 and received a juris doctor degree with honors from Georgetown University Law Center in 1989. In 2000, Eristoff earned an Advanced Professional Certificate in Information Technology from New York University.
Known socially as Andrew Sidamon-Eristoff, he is the son of the late lawyer, government official, and environmental advocate Constantine Sidamon-Eristoff (1930–2011) and Anne Phipps Sidamon-Eristoff. His great-grandfather, Henry Phipps, was a partner of Andrew Carnegie. On his father's side, Eristoff is a grandson of Prince Simon Sidamon-Eristoff (1891–1961), a Georgian military officer and a scion of the noble Sidamoni-Eristavi family, who emigrated to the United States after the Bolsheviks invaded Georgia in 1921, and married Anne Tracy, a descendant of John Bigelow, an American lawyer, editor and diplomat in the mid-19th century.
