Sir Ernest Herbert Andrews CBE (25 June 1873 – 9 November 1961) was a New Zealand teacher, printer and cricketer and local-body politician.

His business partner was his cousin Archibald Sando, whose mother was a sister of Thomas Andrews.

The business partnership was dissolved in 1908 and Sando became manager of the Wellington Publishing Company, which owned The Dominion newspaper.

[2] In 1892, he was a founding member of the Ashburton Union Cricket Club and he became the inaugural secretary.

[16][17] In August 1910, Andrews stood for election for the North Canterbury Education Board in the central ward, but was beaten by Dr. Charles James Russell.

[22] Andrews' first wife died in 1937, before he became mayor, and so his niece, Eveleyn Couzins, acted as the mayoress from 1941 until her death in 1945.

Couzins made a valued contribution to the community, especially through the organisation of parcels for dispatch to New Zealand servicemen abroad.

The funeral service took place at the Rugby Street Methodist church, with which Andrews had been long associated.
