Andrey Tissin (Russian: Андрей Тиссин; 5 July 1975 – 1 March 2008) was a Russian sprint canoer who competed in the late 1990s and early 2000s (decade). He won four medals at the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships with a gold (K-4 500 m: 2001), two silvers (K-4 200 m: 2001, K-4 500 m: 1999), and a bronze (K-4 500 m: 1998).
Tissin also competed in the K-2 1000 m event at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, but was eliminated in the semifinals. He lived in Krasnodar, and was 1.86 m (6'1") tall, weighing 90 kg (198 lb).
Tissin later became a coach of the Russian national team, drowning during a training session in 2008.[1]
