Andrew Comyn "Sandy" Irvine (8 April 1902 – 8 or 9 June 1924) was a British mountaineer who took part in the 1924 British Mount Everest expedition, the third British expedition to the world's highest mountain. He and his climbing partner George Mallory disappeared high on the mountain's Northeast Ridge, and were last seen alive below the summit. Irvine's partial remains were discovered in 2024.
