Andrew John McKean (born June 23, 1949) is an American politician and retired attorney in the state of Iowa. He represents District 58 in the Iowa House of Representatives. McKean represented District 23 from 1979 to 1983 and District 44 from 1983 to 1993. Afterward, he served in the Iowa Senate, representing District 28 from 1993 to 2003. He served as a supervisor of Jones County from 2003 to 2011. McKean returned to the Iowa House in 2016 after being elected to District 58, defeating Jessica Kean. In 2018, he was reelected, defeating Joe Oclon.
McKean was a Republican from 1978 to 2019 and the longest-serving Republican in the Iowa state legislature. On April 23, 2019, he left the Republican Party, citing Donald Trump's influence on the party as his main reason. Following McKean's departure from the Republican Party, he decided that he would run for reelection as a Democrat. On August 21, 2019, Republican Steven Bradley of Cascade, Iowa, announced that he would run against McKean. In the 2020 elections, Bradley ended up defeating McKean.
