Andy Schatz (; born March 9, 1978) is a video game designer based in San Diego.

After graduation, he worked for various video game development companies, including TKO Software, before founding his own independent video game development studio Pocketwatch Games in 2004.
Attempting to expand his company, Schatz tried enrolling into business school; all applications were rejected.

His design philosophy revolves around taking inspiration from already existing media, such as films, and transforming it into a video game.
