Andrew Johnston (c. 1798 – 24 August 1862)[1][2] was a Whig politician in Scotland.
He was elected in 1831 as a member of parliament (MP) for the Anstruther District of Burghs,[2] and when that constituency was abolished by the Reform Act 1832 he was elected at the 1832 general election for the new St Andrews District of Burghs.[3] He held that seat until he stood down from the House of Commons at the 1837 general election.[3]
He married Priscilla, the daughter of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, Bt and had two sons and four daughters. He was the father of MP Andrew Johnston and grandfather of designer Edward Johnston (the son of his younger son Fowell Buxton Johnston). [4]
