Andrew Wagih Shoukry (born September 25, 1990) is a professional squash player who represented Egypt. He reached a career-high junior world ranking of No. 3.[1][2]
Shoukry joined the PSA World Tour in 2007 and was coached by his compatriot and former World No. 1 Karim Darwish. He claimed his first PSA World Tour title the same year at the Kengen Parklands Open and followed that up with two further titles in a successful 2010. His fifth PSA World Tour title came at the Tour de las Americas – Regatas de Resistencia Open with a victory over Jan Koukal in the final in May 2012. More high finishes at a number of events over the year meant that Shoukry would climb into the world's top 50 for the first time in March 2013. He would face a year-long wait for another title before securing back-to-back successes at the London Open and PSA Valencia Open. Shoukry rounded off his 2014/15 season with a quarter-final place at the Sharm El Sheikh International Championship.
He then shifted his expertise and talents on to younger generations as a coach from 2018 whilst opening his academy, Shoukry Squash Academy.
