"Prince Andrew & the Epstein Scandal" is an episode of the BBC's news and current affairs programme Newsnight broadcast on BBC Two on 16 November 2019. In the 58-minute programme, then-Prince Andrew, Duke of York (who, following the removal of his titles in 2025 is now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) was interviewed by Emily Maitlis about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the American financier and child sex offender. Andrew's responses in the interview were panned by both the media and the public.

In May 2020, it was announced that Andrew would indefinitely withdraw from his public roles. In October 2025, amid continued controversy surrounding his association with Epstein, Andrew was stripped of his honours, styles, and royal titles, including his peerage title of "Duke of York" and his birth title of prince. In February 2026, he was arrested on suspicions of misconduct in public office in connection with his ties to Epstein.
