David John Andrew (10 November 1867 – 18 November 1928) was an Australian politician. Born in Castlemaine, Victoria, he was educated at state schools before becoming an apprentice civil engineer. Later he was an auctioneer in Bendigo. He was elected to Bendigo City Council and was mayor in 1909, 1913 and 1920.[1]
