Andrew Poysell Ireland (August 23, 1930 – October 20, 2024) was an American banker and politician from Florida.

Born to a wealthy family in Cincinnati, Ohio, he attended a private school within the city.

From 1968 to 1970, Ireland served as a member of the board of the Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta.

[1][2] Ireland became involved in politics in 1966, when he successfully ran for the position of Winter Haven city commissioner.

Future Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie, who was a staffer in Ireland's office at the time and switched parties soon after his boss, said that he and Ireland were classic examples of Reagan Democrats who became Republicans–"a southern conservative and a young northeastern ethnic Catholic who no longer felt comfortable in the party of their heritage."
