Andrew Robert Gee (born 13 September 1968^[1]) is an Australian politician. He has held the Division of Calare in the House of Representatives since 2016, representing the National Party until December 2022 when he resigned to sit as an independent over the party's opposition to an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.

He was elected to the House of Representatives at the 2016 federal election.
