Andrew Herbert Trousdale (7 November 1900 – 5 January 1957) was an Australian international rugby union player.{{cite news |title=Trousdale Stars |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/973396056 |work=The Daily Telegraph |date=26 June 1927}}

Trousdale was born in Sydney and educated at North Sydney Intermediate High School.{{cite web |title=Andrew Herbert Trousdale |url=https://classicwallabies.com.au/players/andrew-herbert-trousdale/711 |website=Classic Wallabies |language=en}}

A sturdy centre, Trousdale gained selection to an inexperienced New South Wales squad for the 1923 New Zealand tour. The team was a de facto Wallabies side and have retrospectively been recognised as such. He appeared in the tour opener against Wellington-Manawatū, but spent most of the tour sidelined, and didn't feature against New Zealand.

Trousdale played his club rugby for Eastern Suburbs, Mosman and North Sydney.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article222942673 |title=Sporting News |newspaper=The Sun |date=11 March 1925 |page=5 (Final Extra) |via=National Library of Australia}}
