Andrew Jackson Bryant (October 30, 1823 - May 11, 1888) was the 17th Mayor of San Francisco serving from December 6, 1875 to November 30, 1879.

Bryant was born in Ettingham, New Hampshire. He was elected mayor of San Francisco in 1875 to replace James Otis. On May 11, 1888, Bryant, retired, was crossing the San Francisco Bay on a ferry. Bryant committed suicide by falling off a ferry into San Francisco Bay, and drowned.

A headline in the May 12, 1888 New York Times read; "AN EX-MAYOR'S SUICIDE.; THE UNHAPPY END OF ONE OF SAN FRANCISCO'S OLD CITIZENS. SAN FRANCISCO, May 11.--A.J. Bryant, ex-Mayor of San Francisco, committed suicide this morning by jumping from the ferry steamer Encinal just after the boat had started on the 9:15 trip to Oakland. Mr. Bryant was very nervous and trembling when he bought his ticket, and the gate-keeper appears to be the last man who talked with him."
