Roy Chapman Andrews (Beloit (Wisconsin), 26 januari 1884 – Carmel-by-the-Sea, 11 maart 1960) was een Amerikaans ontdekkingsreiziger en paleontoloog die directeur werd van het American Museum of Natural History. Hij reisde in het begin van de 20e eeuw naar de Gobiwoestijn in Mongolië en vond er fossiele eieren van dinosauriërs. Hij prijkte op 29 oktober 1923 op de cover van Time Magazine. Douglas Preston van het American Museum of Natural History schreef: “Andrews is vermoedelijk de echte persoon waarop het filmpersonage Indiana Jones gebaseerd is.” George Lucas of andere filmmakers hebben dit nooit bevestigd.
