Drew Olson is an American sportscaster from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. He attended the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Olson was host of WAUK 540 ESPN's "The D-List," which aired weekdays from 10AM-1PM and featured Dan Needles, the longtime Sports Director at WISN-TV. Needles and Olson also co-host "Big 12 Sports Saturday with 540 ESPN," a weekly TV show that airs on Milwaukee's ABC-TV affiliate at 6:30 p.m. Saturday during football season. In 2016, Olson joined WOKY/The Big 1070 WTSO, where he hosts The Drew Olson Show and is a contributor on the Mike Heller Show.

In addition to his broadcast work, Olson served as senior editor/columnist for the radio station's website, ESPNWisconsin.com. Olson was also a frequent contributor on the Bob and Brian morning show on WHQG The Hog to discuss Milwaukee Brewers baseball. He also works occasionally as a sideline reporter for Fox Sports Wisconsin during Milwaukee Brewers broadcasts.

Olson grew up in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin and graduated from Menomonee Falls High School in 1984. Olson won five varsity letters in basketball and track at Menomonee Falls. Olson then attended the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and earned a B.S. degree in Journalism in 1988. Olson played basketball for the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee men's basketball team for one semester and often jokes about how desperate the program was at the time. Pulled out of the intramural ranks to be the 10th man on a 10-man squad, Olson was rewarded with varsity letter for his efforts even though he barely played for the Panthers and did not score a basket. "I was easily the most important guy on the team," he joked, "without me they wouldn't have had enough guys to scrimmage."
