Andrew David Tennant (born 9 March 1987) is an English former professional track and road racing cyclist,^[4] who rode professionally between 2009 and 2021 for six different teams. During his career, Tennant won seven medals at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships, six gold medals at the UEC European Track Championships and a silver medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Born in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, UK, Tennant began to make his mark on the cycling world as a junior rider.^[5] In 2005 he was selected for British Cycling's Olympic Development Programme and lived in Tuscany, Italy with the GB squad in 2006.^[6] Tennant represented England in the points race at the 2006 Commonwealth Games and represented Great Britain in the Under-23 road race at the 2006 UCI Road World Championships in Salzburg, Austria.^[7] The following season he overtrained, and his results suffered as a consequence.^[8] Tennant was a member of British Cycling's Olympic Academy.^[8]

Whilst riding for Team Halfords Bikehut in 2009, he was mentored by Rob Hayles.^[9]

In 2015 Tennant moved to the new WIGGINS team set up by Bradley Wiggins aiming to prepare British riders for the team pursuit at the 2016 Summer Olympics.^[10]
