The Andrews Professor of Astronomy is a chair in astronomy in Trinity College Dublin, that was established in 1783 in conjunction with the establishment of Dunsink Observatory. From 1793, under letters patent of King George III, the Andrews Professor held the title Royal Astronomer of Ireland. Both titles fell vacant in 1921 but the professorship was revived in 1984. Dunsink Observatory was founded in 1785 following a bequest by Francis Andrews, who died in 1774 while Provost of Trinity College.
