Andrew H. Schapiro (born April 25, 1963) is an American attorney and diplomat who served as United States Ambassador to the Czech Republic from September 30, 2014, to January 20, 2017.

[4] Schapiro served as a law clerk for Judge Richard Posner of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago, and then clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, in Washington, DC.

Schapiro is credited with helping to shape Blackmun's eventual position as a death penalty "abolitionist".

As a partner at two global law firms—first Mayer Brown and then Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan—he specialized in intellectual property and commercial litigation and appeals.

[12] Schapiro's 2015 appearance on the popular Jan Kraus talk show drew notice after he sang and played "Jumpin' Jack Flash", by The Rolling Stones, with the house band, at the host's invitation.

[13][14][15] In April 2015, Schapiro suggested in a television interview that it could be "awkward" for Czech President Milos Zeman to go ahead with plans to attend a military parade in Moscow, which other Western leaders were avoiding due to the Russo-Ukrainian war and where Zeman was expected to be the only European head of state on the reviewing stand.

[19] During Schapiro's tenure as ambassador, the US Embassy increased its focus on innovation and entrepreneurship, and initiated a new Ambassador's Fund for Women's Empowerment to assist Czech groups working to deepen the participation of women in business, government and public life.
