Andrew Rathbone (born 8 September 1971 in Blacon, Chester) is an English drummer and was a member of the rock band Mansun.
Rathbone was the 3rd and final drummer in Mansun, brought in after the band had "internal conflict" with the previous two.

band down because he thought they played "Britpop shite", he later had a change of
heart after the band played him a demo of their new song called "Wide

Since the breakup of Mansun, Rathbone has formed a new band with Jonti Thackery called "Seraphim".
