Andrew Charles Theophanous (born 24 March 1946) is a Cypriot-born Australian former politician. He was an Australian Labor Party member of the House of Representatives from 1980 to 2000, and an independent member from 2000 to 2001. He is the author of three books and numerous articles on political theory and philosophy, especially in the areas of multiculturalism and social justice.
He spent 21 months in jail for one charge of bribery of $2000, two charges relating to misuse of his position over one visa application, and another immigration matter. Theophanous pleaded not guilty to all charges but was convicted. Despite those convictions, he has consistently maintained his innocence, while procedural errors in his trial were later found.
He later made a Petition of Mercy application seeking a retrial on the three convictions. To date, his efforts to quash his prior convictions have been unsuccessful. He is related to many other prominent Australian politicians from Victoria.
