Andrew Haug is a radio announcer and heavy metal musician from Melbourne, Australia. He is one of the most prominent figures on Australia's largely underground heavy metal scene.

Haug is most notable as the presenter of the heavy metal music program "Full Metal Racket" (formerly "3 Hours of Power") on Australian alternative music radio station Triple J, which he has hosted since 2001. He started his radio career doing the heavy metal music program "The Hard Report" for Melbourne community radio station 3RRR.

Haug also plays drums with Metalcore/Death metal outfit Contrive, which also features his identical twin brother Paul Haug on lead vocals/guitar.

In 2002, Haug was convinced by notorious Australian media prankster/comedian John Safran (a long-time friend of his and a former colleague at 3RRR) to appear on his SBS television series "John Safran's Music Jamboree". His appearance involved a Christian psychic who monitored him during a radio broadcast and at a Contrive live gig, claiming she could see "dark spirits" who were supposedly attracted to him due to his interest in heavy metal music.

Andrew has also been a guest programmer for the ABC's music video show "Rage".
