Townsend Andrews (20 November 1702 – 1737) of Coulston, Wiltshire, was a British official and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1727 to 1737.
[1] He succeeded his father before November 1721 and to the estates of his maternal grandfather, John Townsend, at Tytherton Lucas and elsewhere in Wiltshire in 1725.
At the 1727 British general election he was returned as Member of Parliament for Hindon as a government supporter in a fierce contest, against Henry Fox.
When Sir William Strickland, the secretary at war, was absent, Andrews introduced the army estimates on 2 February 1733, justifying them on the basis of a Jacobite threat.
At the 1734 British general election he was transferred from Hindon to make way for Fox, and was returned unopposed as MP for Bossiney instead.
