Andy Ihnatko /ɪˈnɑːtkoʊ/ is a technology journalist for the Chicago Sun-Times, and tech author. He currently resides in Massachusetts. He is a co-host on the Material podcast, on Relay FM's network. He also appears on Leo Laporte's podcasts, specifically MacBreak Weekly and TWiT, and is a regular on the MacNotables podcast hosted by Chuck Joiner, where he often is paired with fellow technology journalist Adam Engst. In September 2011, he launched an ongoing podcast called The Ihnatko Almanac with Dan Benjamin on Benjamin's 5by5 Studios network.

Ihnatko has also appeared on the CBS Saturday Early Show on July 13, 2007, where he discussed applications for cell phones to imitate if not exceed the capabilities of the Apple iPhone. He appeared again on August 25, 2007, to report his conclusions after testing several urban legends about recovering mobile phones that had been submerged in water.

Ihnatko, for a brief time in July 2007, was believed to be the author of the satirical "The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs" weblog, until his formal denial on July 24 in an article for Macworld. He has also formally neither confirmed nor denied involvement in the Steve Jobs autobiography, which was rumoured on Valleywag.

Ihnatko's writing style is seasoned with references to US popular culture, P. G. Wodehouse, comic books, cartoons, and science fiction.
