Andrew Carrick Gow RA (15 or 18 June 1848 – 1 February 1920)[1] was a British painter who painted scenes from British and European history as well as portraits and genre.

Born in London in 1848, Gow studied at Heatherley's School of Art.

In 1900, he visited Egypt and he used his sketches to compose a scene representing the death of the Mahdi soon after the defeat of his troops by Colonel Wingate in 1898.

In later life, he became Keeper of the Royal Academy and died there on 1 February 1920 at the age of 72.

He was buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery.
