Andrew Belcher (July 22, 1763 – November 17, 1841) was a British North American merchant, politician and justice of the peace from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Belcher was born in Halifax to father Jonathan Belcher, who was Nova Scotia's chief justice from 1754 to 1776. He died when Andrew was young and his life was influenced by Alexander Brymer, a prominent Scottish-born businessman located in Halifax. In 1892 he married Mary Ann Geyer (1770-1817) in Boston. One son, Edward Belcher brought some positive recognition to the family name as leader of an Arctic expedition to search for Sir John Franklin.
