Andrew Scannell (26 June 1905 – 3 January 1959) was an Irish Gaelic footballer, hurler, team selector and Gaelic games administrator.

Scannell began his administrative career as secretary of the Fermoy club between 1936 and 1939. He served as club chairman from 1940 to 1945 before being elected chairman of the North Cork Board in 1946. At County Board level Scannell served as vice-chairman and chairman at various times between 1947 and 1954.
