Clifford Jack Andrews (6 August 1912 — 11 December 1973) was an English first-class cricketer and rugby union player.

Andrews was born at Swindon in August 1912. In Swindon, his father was a publican, but the family moved to Weston-super-Mare in 1921. There he was educated at Weston Grammar School and played club cricket for Weston-super-Mare Cricket Club.[1] Andrews made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire prior to the Second World War, playing against Cambridge University at Southampton in 1938.[2] During the war, he served as a police officer with the Southampton City Police and was known to play exhibition matches for their cricket team.[3] Following the war, he returned to play first-class cricket for Hampshire, typically as cover for regular wicket-keeper Neil McCorkell.[3] In total, he made seven first-class appearances for Hampshire to 1948.[2] In these, he scored 127 runs at an average of 14.11, with a highest score of 29. As wicket-keeper, he took six catches and made a single stumping.[4] Outside of cricket, Andrews played rugby union for the Hampshire representative rugby union team,[5] having played rugby for Hampshire since 1933.[6] He was the younger brother of the Somerset all-rounder Bill Andrews, and was known in his family as "Jack". Andrews died at his home in Eastleigh in December 1973.[1]
