Andrew Lawrence Crofts (born 29 May 1984) is a former professional footballer who is currently head coach of Brighton & Hove Albion U21s. He made 29 appearances for Wales at international level.

He started his career with Gillingham, for whom he made his Football League debut at the age of 16, and made over 190 appearances for the Kent-based club. He had loans at Peterborough United and Wrexham during the 2008–09 season and joined Brighton & Hove Albion in 2009. After a successful season at Brighton he transferred to Norwich City in 2010, before moving back to the South Coast club in 2012.

A tough-tackling midfielder, Crofts represented Wales, where one of his grandparents was born, at under-19 and under-21 level and won his first senior cap in 2005. In 2008, he won his 12th cap, breaking the record for the most international caps received by a Gillingham player.

He became the head coach for Brighton U23s in June 2021 after spending a year as a player-coach of the academy.
