Andy Roy Magid (born May 4, 1944 in Saint Paul , Minnesota ) is an American mathematician.

Magid studied mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley with a bachelor's degree in 1966 and received his doctorate in 1969 with Daniel Zelinsky at Northwestern University (dissertation: Separable Subalgebras of Commutative Algebras and Other Applications of the Boolean Spectrum ). 1969 to 1972 he was Ritt Assistant Professor at Columbia University . In 1972 he became an Assistant Professor, 1974 Associate Professor and 1977 Professor at the University of Oklahoma . From 1989 to 1994 he headed the mathematics department there. In 1989 he became George Lynn Cross Research Professor . In 2012 he retired.

In 1975/76 he was Visiting Associate Professor at the University of Illinois. He was also visiting professor at the University of Virginia, the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the Technion (Lady Davis Fellow), the Bar Ilan University and the University of California, Berkeley.

He is concerned with commutative algebra, Galois theory of rings, algebraic geometry, algebraic groups, representations of groups and differential Galois theory. He also published on math education.

He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
