Andrew Toney (born November 23, 1957 in Birmingham) is an American former professional basketball player who played for the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers from 1980-1988. He was dubbed the "Boston Strangler" by Boston sportswriters during the 76ers' and Boston Celtics' rivalry in the early 1980s because of his ability to single-handedly dominate games against the Celtics.

Toney was drafted by the Sixers out of Southwestern Louisiana University (now Louisiana-Lafayette) with the eighth pick of the 1980 NBA Draft.

He was named to two All-Star teams, in 1982 and 1983, and averaged 15.9 points per game for his career.

Toney's son Channing currently plays college basketball at UAB.
