Andrew Smith (born 22 June, 1960) is a darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation events. He uses the nickname Pieman for his matches. His best performances have come in the "floor" events (non-televised tournaments with many boards being used simultaneously) - where he has won three PDC Pro Tour titles.

A former England international, he has also won the English, Welsh and Norway Opens earlier in his career before switching from the British Darts Organisation to the PDC. His wins in the Scottish and South-West Regional Finals for the 2005 UK Open saw him enter the televised finals as number one seed, and he later qualified for the Las Vegas Desert Classic.

He narrowly missed out on an automatic place in the Ladbrokes.com World Championship after jumping to 33rd in the rankings, but came through the PDPA qualifiers to book his place at Purfleet.

He overcame Colin Monk and Ray Carver to reach the last 16, before losing out to Alan Warriner-Little at the Circus Tavern.

After showing much promise in 2005, it wasn't until October 2007 that he managed to lift another Pro Tour title when he took the PDPA Scottish Players Championship in Irvine - beating James Wade with a 108 average in the final.
