Andy Landers (born October 8, 1952 in Maryville, Tennessee) is the longtime head coach of the University of Georgia Lady Bulldogs basketball team. He married the former Pam McClellan in 1981 and has two children, Andrea Lauren and Drew Joseph.

Following the 2007-08 season, Landers had compiled an overall record of 789-246 (.762) and a record of 707-225 (.760) at Georgia.

Landers graduated from Friendsville (Tenn.) High School in 1970, then attended and graduated from Tennessee Technological University in 1974 with a degree in Physical Education.

In 1975, Landers began his coaching career at Roane State Community College, compiling an 82-21 record over four seasons before Vince Dooley made the 26-year-old his first hire as athletic director at Georgia.

The Lady Bulldog program Landers inherited had compiled a 37-85 record in its first six seasons and had virtually no budget. However, in his first season, Landers led the Lady Bulldogs to a 16-12 record, and by his fourth year in Athens, he had taken them to their first of five NCAA Final Fours. By 1985, the Lady Dogs were in the National Championship game.

Since arriving at UGA, Landers has been named National Coach of the Year four times and SEC Coach of the Year three times, and has led the Lady Dogs to 23 NCAA Tournaments, five Final Fours, seven SEC regular-season titles, four SEC tournament championships, and 21 twenty-win seasons. He has coached two Olympians (who have won a combined six Gold Medals) and 11 Kodak All-Americans.

Today, his average of 24.4 wins per season ranks fourth among all active Division I women's basketball head coaches, as do his 789 total victories. Of the fourteen Division I women's basketball head coaches to reach 600 wins, Landers made it the fifth-quickest, surpassing the mark after only 784 games. Landers is a member of the ninth group of inductees (the class of 2007) in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.^[1]

In NCAA women's basketball, he is the winningest coach to have never won an NCAA championship.
