Joseph-Adolphe Gandy (25 February 1839 – 26 March 1909) was a member of Paris Foreign Missions Society and was the archbishop of Archdiocese of Pondicherry.

When Pope Leo XII established Catholic hierarchy in India, he was appointed as the coadjutor archbishop of Pondicherry on 15 January 1889.

After two years as vicar at St. Symphorien d'Ozon, he entered the Seminary of Paris Foreign Missions Society on 7 August 1866.

Upon his request on 1 September 1899, Pope Leo XIII erected the Diocese of Kumbakonam by dividing the Archdiociese of Pondicherry.

Gandy at the MEP Archives ends as: During his 42 years as a missionary, he was always on the road, always at work; He did that for the good of souls and the holy will of God.
