Andrew Douglas Paley (November 1, 1951 – November 20, 2024) was an American multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, record producer, and composer. During the 1970s, he performed around the Boston area with numerous bands and formed the Paley Brothers, a power pop duo, with his brother Jonathan Paley.

Paley produced albums for artists such as Brian Wilson, Jonathan Richman, NRBQ, John Wesley Harding, the Greenberry Woods, and Jerry Lee Lewis. He worked extensively with Wilson, co-writing and co-producing his 1988 debut solo album and many unreleased songs. After the late 1980s, Paley worked in film and television, composing scores and writing songs mostly for animated series, such as The Ren & Stimpy Show, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Camp Lazlo. He died of throat cancer in 2024, leaving behind a wealth of unreleased solo material.
