Andrea Sinclair (born May 14, 1993) is a Canadian curler from Ottawa, Ontario. In 2013, she relocated to Whitehorse, Yukon,{{cite web|url=http://www.whitehorsestar.com/archive/story/ottawa-curler-andrea-sinclair-to-join-team-koltun/|title=Ottawa curler Andrea Sinclair to join Team Koltun|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140107164508/www.whitehorsestar.com/archive/story/ottawa-curler-andrea-sinclair-to-join-team-koltun/|archive-date=2014-01-07}} and has since returned to Ottawa. She is one of the few players to participate in both the junior and adult national championships in a single year: the 2014 Canadian Junior Curling Championships and the 2014 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

After winning the 2010 Ontario Winter Games,{{cite web|url=http://www.ontcurl.com/competitions/past-champions.aspx?id=458 |title=Past Champions |accessdate=2014-01-06 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140108030322/http://www.ontcurl.com/competitions/past-champions.aspx?id=458 |archivedate=2014-01-08 }} Sinclair made her first national appearance at the 2011 Canada Winter Games in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she played third for team Ontario, skipped by Lauren Horton. Her rink, playing out of the Huntley Curling Club, won a bronze medal at the games.{{cite web | title=Curling Female | website=cg2011.gems.pro | url=https://cg2011.gems.pro/Result/Event_PO_T_T.aspx?Event_GUID=ad2ad841-5ced-4664-a0a0-8d81937d53e4&Section=FinalStanding&SetLanguage=en-CA | language=de | access-date=2024-02-24}}

In 2013, Sinclair relocated to Whitehorse to play with Sarah Koltun's team, which placed fifth at the 2011 Canada Winter Games and fourth at the 2013 Canadian Junior Curling Championships. Two of the members of that team, Koltun and second Patty Wallingham, were age-eligible for both junior and adult play in 2014, and with the addition of Sinclair they were able to field a team in both competitions.

At the 2014 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, Sinclair and the Yukon team lost a tie-breaker to enter the championship round, and finished tenth overall.{{Cite web | url=http://www.curling.ca/2014juniors-en/standings/ |title = Curling Canada | Standings begin to take shape at Everest Canadian Seniors}} After the main competition finished, the 88 players who did not qualify for the playoffs competed in a mixed doubles tournament, which Sinclair won with BC skip Cameron de Jong and Yukon men's coach Kevin Patterson.{{Cite web |url=http://www.curling.ca/2014juniors-en/2014/01/26/sinclair-de-jong-capture-mixed-doubles-gold-at-mm-meat-shops-canadian-juniors/ |title=Sinclair, de Jong capture mixed doubles gold at M&M Meat Shops Canadian juniors - 2014 M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors |access-date=2014-01-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140129010614/http://www.curling.ca/2014juniors-en/2014/01/26/sinclair-de-jong-capture-mixed-doubles-gold-at-mm-meat-shops-canadian-juniors/ |archive-date=2014-01-29 |url-status=dead }}
