Jedediah Andrews (1674–1747) was an early American Presbyterian minister born in Hingham, Massachusetts, who graduated from Harvard College in 1695 and settled in Philadelphia in 1698, where he became the first pastor of the First Presbyterian Church (also known as Old Buttonwood) and helped establish Presbyterian worship in the Middle Atlantic colonies. He was one of the original seven ministers who organized the first Presbytery in America in 1706 and served both his congregation and the wider church through pastoral care, presbytery service, and missionary journeys across the region. Toward the end of his life Andrews remained active in the Old Side of the church during early ecclesiastical controversies and is known for his foundational leadership in early American Presbyterianism.
