Andrew Stein (born Andrew Finkelstein) is an American politician and member of the Democratic Party who held several major elected offices in New York City over a nearly 25-year career. He began his political career by being elected to the New York State Assembly in 1968, representing Manhattan. Stein gained prominence by leading an investigation into abuses in nursing homes, which led to significant reforms.

Following his time in the Assembly, Stein served as the Borough President of Manhattan from 1978 to 1985. He then successfully ran for President of the New York City Council, a position he held from 1986 to 1993. During his tenure, he was a highly visible figure in city politics and a frequent presence in New York's social scene. He ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of New York City in 1993, dropping out before the Democratic primary.

After leaving public office, Stein transitioned to the private sector and remained somewhat active in political commentary. In 2010, he pleaded guilty to tax evasion related to his failure to pay taxes on more than $2 million in income, leading to a sentence of 500 hours of community service. Despite his Democratic background, Stein later became a vocal supporter of Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election.
