Andrew Christopher West (Chinese name 魏安, pinyin Wèi Ān, born ) is an English Sinologist. He initially devoted himself to studying Chinese novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In particular, he produced a study of ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms'', with a new approach to analyze the relationship among the various versions, extrapolating the original text of that novel.〔Kimberly Ann Besio and Constantine Tung, ''Three Kingdoms and Chinese Culture'' (SUNY Press, 2007) p.163〕〔Charles Horner, ''(Rising China and its Postmodern Fate )'' (University of Georgia Press, 2009) pp.94-95〕 He compiled a catalogue for the Chinese-language library of the English missionary Robert Morrison containing some 10,000 books.〔Beatrice S.

Barrett, Review in ''Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies'' vol.62 Issue 2 (1999)〕 He now specializes in the minority languages of China, especially Khitan, Manchu, and Mongolian. He proposed an encoding scheme for the 'Phags-pa script,〔Andrew West (Proposal to encode the Phags-pa script ) (SC2/WG2 N2622)〕 which was subsequently included in Unicode version 5.0.
