Andrew Eldritch (born Andrew William Harvey Taylor, 1959 May 151, Ely, UK) is the leader, singer, songwriter and the only original member left of the The Sisters of Mercy, a band that emerged from the British post punk scene and, in later years, also flirted with pop and heavy metal. He also programs The Sisters of Mercy's drum-machine tracks, plays guitars and keyboards in its studio recordings, and even played drums on the band's first single before they had a drum-machine. He was a freelance drummer in the local Leeds punk scene (in his own opinion, badly) and also established the record label Merciful Release .

In addition to The Sisters of Mercy, in 1986 Andrew Eldritch established a side-project Sisterhood, which was shortly abandoned in favour of continuing working under The Sisters of Mercy banner.
