Andrew James Richmond (1832 – 15 November 1880) was a 19th-century Member of Parliament in Golden Bay / Mohua and Nelson, New Zealand.

His father was administrator of the Ionian Islands in Greece from 1829 to 1838 and went to the Canadian province New Brunswick in 1839 as Deputy Judge Advocate-General.

[2] Andrew Richmond received much of his schooling at Parramatta in New South Wales.

In a letter to the Nelson newspaper The Colonist written on 19 December 1867, a writer using a pseudonym claimed that Richmond had resigned long ago had it not been for William Gibbs, who intended to succeed him, asking to wait with the resignation until Gibbs has had the chance to canvass the electorate.

[11] Gibbs gave a speech at Motupipi School on 28 February 1868 where he addressed the issue.

Upon putting the question to him, Richmond had told Gibbs that he would delay his resignation for some months so that the miners working at the Aorere Goldfields had held their miners' licenses for more than six months, which apparently enabled them to cast a vote.

[15] His father had a large house built in Nelson in the early 1840s that he named The Cliffs.

[23] Mount Richmond, commonly referred to as the Devil's Armchair and located north of the Wairau River, was named after his father.
