Andy Bor (born 14 April 1963) is an Australian former ski coach and sighted guide for visually impaired skiers. He was a coach at the 2006 Winter Paralympics in Torino, and was Melissa Perrine's guide skier at the 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver and 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi.

Bor became Melissa Perrine's guide in 2009. He first skied with her in competition at the IPC North America Cup in Colorado, in 2009, where the pair finished second in the super-G. As Perrine's guide skier, he competed in the downhill, super-G, super combined, giant slalom and slalom events at Vancouver. They won silver in the downhill and bronze medals in super-G and super combined at the 2011 IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships in Sestriere. At an August 2011 Winter Games IPC event at Coronet Peak, Perrine and Bor finished first in the women's slalom visually impaired event.

At the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Bor and Perrine finished fourth in the women's downhill for visually impaired. They were disqualified from the super combined event for a technical breach relating to a visor. They did not finish in the other events. https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2014-03-12/perrine-disqualification-inexcusable3a-apc-boss/5315104 Perrine went on to win two bronze medals at the 2018 winter Paralympics in South Korea with another guide Christian Geiger. https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-14/winter-paralympics-melissa-perrine-wins-second-pyeongchang-medal/9548398
