Andrew Fleming West (May 17, 1853 – December 27, 1943) was an American classicist, and first dean of the Graduate School at Princeton University.

He then went to Europe to carry out academic study, before taking up a position as principal of the Morris Academy in Morristown, New Jersey.

In December 1900 West was appointed as the first dean of the newly founded Graduate School at Princeton University.

After a number of setbacks, and a disagreement with Woodrow Wilson (President of Princeton University, 1902–1910) about the siting of the proposed graduate college, it finally became a reality with the death of Isaac C. Wyman in 1910, who bequeathed $800,000 for the purposes of founding a graduate college.
