Andrew Scott Sloan (June 12, 1820 – April 8, 1895) was an American lawyer, politician, and Wisconsin pioneer. He served one term in the U.S. House of Representatives (1861–1863) and served as Wisconsin's 11th Attorney General (1874–1878). For most of his political career, he was a Republican, but while serving as attorney general, he ran as a Liberal Republican, part of the short-lived Reform coalition in Wisconsin.
Later in life, Sloan also served 14 years as a Wisconsin circuit court judge and was a three-term mayor of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. His name was almost always abbreviated as A. Scott Sloan or A. S. Sloan.
His son, Henry Clay Sloan, and younger brother, Ithamar Sloan, were also prominent politicians and lawyers in Wisconsin during the latter half of the 19th century.
