Andrew Nelson Lytle (1902-December 12, 1995) was an American poet, dramatist, and professor of literature. He was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Lytle was affiliated with the southern agrarian literary movement along with poets Robert Penn Warren and Allen Tate, who he knew from his time at Vanderbilt University.

His notable work includes Bedford Forrest and his Critter Company (1931), considered the classic biography of American Civil War General Nathan Bedford Forrest

Lytle served as editor of the Sewanee Review from 1961 to 1973 as a professor at the University of the South. It was during Lytle's tenure that the Review rose in prominence to one of the nation's most prestigious literary magazines. Lytle retired from the university in 1973 and lived in a cabin in nearby Monteagle, Tennessee until his death in 1995.
