Andrew "Andy" Craig (born 16 March 1976) is an English born Scottish rugby union footballer who plays at outside centre. He played for Glasgow, Leeds Tykes and Scotland.
Craig previously represented Scotland at rugby league, playing for Wigan, Halifax, Widnes and Swinton. He switched to rugby union joining Orrell in 2000, before moving to Glasgow in the summer of 2004. He then moved to Leeds Tykes for the 2005/2006 season.
Craig earned his first cap for Scotland on Saturday, 15 June 2002 against Canada in Vancouver, in 26-23 defeat. Later that year, he became one of only 15 Scotland players to have scored a hat-trick after his three tries against Fiji.
Craig was an important member of the Scotland team for the 2003 Six Nations Championship. He played only a handful of games in the 2004 season. His luck changed again in 2005, when under the reign of the Matt Williams he was the starting outside centre. Although it was a disappointing season for Scotland (one win against Italy), Craig scored two tries, first against Wales and then against England.
