Inspector Andy O'Donnell is a police officer with the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) in London, United Kingdom, serving as a Detective Inspector in public order policing. He has been prominently involved in managing demonstrations and events at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, a public forum known for debates on religion, politics, and free speech. O'Donnell has overseen interactions with various activists, preachers, and protesters, gaining public attention through bodycam and bystander footage circulated online.

O'Donnell has faced criticism and allegations from Christian evangelists, particularly Hatun Tash of Defend Christ Critique Islam, for perceived bias against Christian preachers favoring Muslim demonstrators. Notable incidents include a 2021 event (2021-07-25) where Tash was arrested for public order offenses after displaying images offensive to some Muslims; O'Donnell was the inspecting officer. Supporters of Tash, including Christian Concern, have accused him of inconsistent application of policing standards, with videos alleging he threatened arrest over free speech expressions while tolerating blasphemy against Christianity. These controversies have been covered in outlets like Rebel News and Premier Christian News, highlighting tensions over hate speech laws and policing impartiality at Speakers' Corner.
