Andrew Oldcorn (born 31 March 1960) is a British professional golfer.

Oldcorn was born in Bolton, Lancashire, England. He was raised in Edinburgh, and represents Scotland. He won the English Amateur in 1982 and turned professional after playing for Great Britain & Ireland in the 1983 Walker Cup.

Oldcorn was medalist at the European Tour final Qualifying School in 1983. He had a steady start to his career on tour before being struck down with ME in the early 1990s.[2] He returned to form in 1993, to claim his first tour victory in the Turespana Masters Open de Andalucia. Away from the tour he also won the Sunderland of Scotland Masters. Several solid years followed along with another title, the 1995 DHL Jersey Open. The undoubted highlight of his career came in 2001 when he became the oldest winner in the history of the Volvo PGA Championship (although Miguel Ángel Jiménez would later beat that record).[3] He finished that season a career best 26th place on the European Tour Order of Merit.

Oldcorn had chronic fatigue syndrome.[4]
