Andrew Earl Hassler (born October 18, 1951) is a retired Major League pitcher. He played for the California Angels (1971, 1973-1976 and 1980-1983), Kansas City Royals (1976-1978), Boston Red Sox (1978-1979), New York Mets (1979), Pittsburgh Pirates (1980) and St. Louis Cardinals (1984-1985).

Hassler was drafted in the 25th round of the 1969 amateur draft by the California Angels and made his Major League debut on May 30, 1971, pitching four innings in a 7-4 loss to the Yankees.

Hassler was a member of the Royals' American League Western Division winning team in 1976-1977, the Angels team who won the same division in 1982, and he helped the Cardinals win the 1985 National League Pennant. He lost 17 straight games (as a starter and in relief) between 1975-1976. Hassler's final Major League appearance was on May 7, 1985, against the San Diego Padres.

In 14 seasons, Hassler had a 44-71 Win-Loss record and a 3.83 career ERA. Though he played for six teams (including two separate stints with the Angels) during his Major League career, Hassler was never involved in a trade. His contract was purchased several times and he signed as a free agent twice.

He currently resides in Phoenix, Arizona.
