Andrew Brayshaw (born 8 November 1999) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

After an impressive junior career for his school, Haileybury, TAC Cup side Sandringham Dragons and the Victorian Metropolitan representative side,[1] he was the second overall draft pick in the 2017 AFL draft.[2]

He made his AFL debut for Fremantle in the opening round of the 2018 AFL season after a series of impressive pre-season games.[3] His debut season was cut short when, in Round 20, he was struck by West Coast Eagles player Andrew Gaff in an off-the-ball incident.[4][5] Gaff was subsequently suspended for eight AFL matches, while Brayshaw suffered a fractured jaw and three dislodged teeth.[6]

In Round 21, 2021 he was found guilty of making unreasonable eye contact to Jarrod Berry of the Brisbane Lions and was given a one game suspension.[7] Brayshaw challenged the ban at the AFL tribunal but was unsuccessful in getting it downgraded.[8]

Brayshaw's older brother Angus also plays in the AFL for the Melbourne Demons and his other older brother Hamish previously played for the West Coast Eagles. His father, Mark Brayshaw, played for North Melbourne and his uncle, James, is a radio and television broadcaster and former cricketer.[9]
