Lieutenant-General Sir Andrew Pilkington KCB (c.1776 – 23 February 1853) was a British Army officer who served through the Napoleonic Wars and War of 1812. He saw initial service fighting as a marine at the Glorious First of June in 1794 where he was wounded twice, and subsequently served with his regiment, the 2nd Regiment of Foot, at the Invasion of Trinidad in 1795. Having returned to Britain Pilkington helped defeat the Irish Rebellion of 1798 and in the following year was part of the Anglo-Russian invasion of Holland.

Pilkington began serving as a staff officer in 1800; while sailing to India in September his ship was captured by a French privateer, during which he was severely wounded. Released to continue on to India, Pilkington returned to Britain in 1803, subsequently serving as assistant adjutant general at Horse Guards for two years. Promoted to lieutenant-colonel in 1809, he was sent to Nova Scotia as deputy adjutant-general. During the War of 1812 Pilkington commanded two expeditions in Maine, capturing Moose Island in July 1814 and Machias in September. He continued on in Nova Scotia until 1816. Made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in 1838, Pilkington received his final promotion, to lieutenant-general, in 1841.
