Andrew Winton (born February 1972, Perth) is an independent and solo Australian musician who combines acoustic guitar, lap slide, dobro and seven-string lap guitar/bass (the Wintonbeast), with hollers and stomp.

Winton's sound has been likened to a cross between Ben Harper, Sting, Kelly-Joe Phelps and Harry Manx.

Winton currently lives in Perth with Karen (his wife, manager and percussionist/vocalist) and their three children.

Winton is a brother of both the author Tim Winton and Sharyn O'Neill, who is head of the Western Australian public service (as Public Sector Commissioner) and was previously director of the Education Department.

Winton also works part-time as a high school chaplain in Perth.
