André-Philippe Gagnon (born December 17, 1962) is a Canadian comedian and impressionist.

He gained widespread recognition in North America after a 1985 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and went on to play a regular act at The Venetian in Las Vegas and other venues around the world.
