Andrews County is a county located in the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2010 census, the population is 14,786. Its county seat is Andrews. Andrews is named for Richard Andrews, a soldier of the Texas Revolution. Andrews County is one of 30 prohibition or entirely dry counties in the state of Texas. The county remained dry after a 2010 referendum on the matter. Andrews County was created August 21, 1876 from Bexar County and organized May 11, 1910.

The Andrews Micropolitan Statistical Area includes all of Andrews County.

Andrews County was represented in the Texas House of Representatives by George E. "Buddy" West from 1993 to June 25, 2008, when he died. He was succeeded in January 2009 by fellow Republican Tryon D. Lewis, who had defeated West for the Republican nomination in the April 8, 2008, primary election.
