Andrea Melissa Blackett (born 24 January 1976, in London)[1][2] is a Barbadian athlete who specializes in the 400 metres hurdles.

She is also a women's track assistant coach at her alma mater, Rice University.

[12] Blackett was also selected in the Bajan team for the 2008 Olympics[13] but was ruled out due to injury[14] and retired from international competition.

[3] Blackett has now finished her days of running but it hasn't stopped her from coaching for the Rice University's Women's Track Team[9] as well as previously coaching for Barbados in the 2008 Beijing Olympic games.
