Andrew Slaughter (b. 29 June 1960) is a United Kingdom politician. He is Leader of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Council.

Andrew Slaughter is a barrister specialising in criminal and housing law and a former Labour Party researcher. He became a Hammersmith and Fulham councillor for North End ward in 1986 and Leader in 1996. When the Government moved towards Executive Mayors, Hammersmith and Fulham was one of the first Councils to style their Leader 'Mayor'. However, the measure initially failed to become law and Slaughter eventually reverted his title to Leader.

Slaughter stood as the Labour candidate in the Uxbridge parliamentary by-election on 31 July 1997. The Labour Party put a huge amount of effort into winning the seat, which had been held by a Conservative. The by_election came less than three month's after Labour's landslide victory in May 1997. Tony Blair even visited the constituency, becoming the first Prime Minister for over thirty years to campaign in a by-election.

However Slaughter's campaign was overshadowed by a row over the decision to select Andrew Slaughter over the party's general election candidate, David Williams. Some local party workers were angry that Williams was not even shortlisted as a possible candidate. Nearly a third of the members attending the selection meeting spoiled their voting papers in protest against his exclusion. Slaughter gained 39% of the vote, down on Labour's performance in May. The Conservatives held the seat with a local candidate, John Randall.

Slaughter was recently selected as the Labour candidate for for Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush in London, currently held by Clive Soley. The seat was originally ear-marked for an all-women shortlist but was opened up to encourage men from ethnic minorities to stand in this multi-racial area. Andrew Slaughter's selection, as a white man, caused a minor ripple of concern.
