Andy Roxburgh (born 1 August 1943 in Glasgow) is a former Scottish football player and coach. He has been UEFA Technical Director since 1994.

In his playing days Roxburgh appeared for Queen's Park, East Stirlingshire, Partick Thistle, Falkirk and Clydebank. Following his retirement as a player, Roxburgh was appointed as the Scottish Football Association's Technical Director in 1975, a position he held alongside that of national team manager until his resignation from the latter position in 1993. Roxburgh coached the Scotland Under-19 team to victory in the final of the UEFA European Under-18 Football Championship in 1982, where his team beat Czechoslovakia 3-1 in Helsinki.

His only managerial role was with the Scottish national team. He was appointed manager in July 1986, succeeding caretaker Alex Ferguson who had been at the helm since Jock Stein's death the previous September. He guided them to qualification for the 1990 World Cup and the 1992 European Football Championship, and left in 1993 after failing to achieve qualification for the 1994 World Cup. He was succeeded by his assistant, Craig Brown.

In between his playing and managerial career, Roxburgh was employed as a school teacher, a profession also occupied by Craig Brown at one stage.
