Andrew Neil Webster (born 23 April 1982) is a Scottish retired professional footballer who played as a centre-back.
He began his career with Arbroath in the Scottish Second Division before moving to Heart of Midlothian for £75,000 in 2001. In two separate spells, he played a total of 222 Scottish Premier League games for Hearts, amassing 272 appearances across all competitions. His first spell ended in a transfer saga in which he invoked updated FIFA transfer regulations to leave for Wigan Athletic, in a move which became known as the Webster ruling. He played only four Premier League matches for Wigan and returned to Scotland, spending three seasons troubled by injury at Rangers. He won the Scottish Cup in 2010 when on loan at Dundee United, and also won it two years later in his second spell at Hearts. After leaving Hearts for a second time in 2013, he spent two years with Coventry City before joining St Mirren in 2015.
Webster made his debut for Scotland in 2003 and earned 28 caps in a decade-long international career, scoring once.
