Andrew Ness (born 1 October 1971 in Scotland) is a Scottish former rugby union player who played for Glasgow Warriors at the Flanker position.

In 1989 he played for Scotland Schools and was highlighted as having huge potential for senior rugby.[1] At the time he was still in Dollar Academy.[2]

He enlisted with Glasgow High Kelvinside that same year.[3]

While at Strathclyde University studying for a MSc in Business Economics, Ness represented Scotland Students at the Rugby Students World Cup in 1992.[4]

Glasgow High Kelvinside merged with Glasgow Academicals to form Glasgow Hawks in 1997. (Both original clubs still survive as spin-offs from the merger). From 1997 Ness then played for amateur club Glasgow Hawks.[5][6][7][8]

The flanker was named in the professional provincial Glasgow squad for the season 1997-98[9]

Ness played for Glasgow in their pre-season match against London Scottish on 10 August 1997. Although Glasgow lost the match 15 - 49, Ness scored a try.[10]
