Andrew Chiang-Fung Liu (Chinese: 劉江楓, March 15, 1947—March 26, 2024) was a Canadian mathematician. For many years, he was a professor in the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.

Liu was born in Guangzhou, and attended New Method College in Hong Kong. He then did his undergraduate studies in mathematics at McGill University, and earned his Ph.D. in 1976 from the University of Alberta, under the supervision of Harvey Abbott, with the dissertation Some Results on Hypergraphs. He also received a professional diploma in education alongside his doctorate.

He was the leader of the Canadian team to the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2000 (South Korea) and 2003 (Japan) and the deputy leader of the United States of America team from 1981 to 1984, and acted as vice-president of the Tournament of Towns.
