Andrey (Andrei) Andreyevich Markov () (June 14, 1856 N.S. – July 20, 1922) was a Russian mathematician. Markov was born in Ryazan. He studied at St. Petersburg University in 1874 under the tutelage of Chebyshev. In 1886, he became a member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Science. He is best known for his work on theory of stochastic processes. His research later became known as Markov chains.

His son another Andrey Andreevich Markov (1903-1979) was also a notable mathematician.
