Andrew Jordan (born 24 May 1989 in Sutton Coldfield) is a British auto racing driver, who drives in the British Touring Car Championship. He was the 2013 British Touring Car Champion.
Jordan first started racing in rallycross. In 2003 he entered the Ford Rally Academy, and went on to win the Winter Junior Rallycross Championship. The next year, he was the BTRDA Junior Rallycross Champion, and won the title of best newcomer in the British Junior series. In 2005 he won four different titles, the Junior Rallycross title, the BTRDA Rallycross title, as well as the Super Series Junior and the Ginetta Winterseries titles. In 2006 Jordan was the youngest ever driver and race winner in the British Rallycross Supercar class, in a Team Eurotech Ford Focus. The protégé of 1992 European Rallycross Champion Will Gollop made it to runner-up in the 2007 British Rallycross Championship, claiming three wins.
Jordan made a one-off return to rallycross in 2014 when he competed with a Ford Fiesta ST Supercar of Olsbergs MSE in the second round of the FIA World Rallycross Championship at Lydden Hill, finishing in third place. In 2015 he participated in two more World RX rounds; in Great Britain he raced a Peugeot 208 Supercar for Team Peugeot-Hansen and in Italy an Audi S1 Supercar for EKS RX.
After driving some races in the 2006 SEAT Cupra Championship, he raced in the 2007 Renault Clio Cup, which supports the British Touring Car Championship. Driving for his father's team, he finished twelfth in the championship with a best result of second, coming in the opening round at Brands Hatch.
