Andrew Gardiner Kane, known as Gardiner Kane (born 25 November 1947) is a former Northern Irish Unionist politician who was a Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) Member of the Northern Ireland Assembly (MLA) for North Antrim from 1998 to 2003. Kane was accused of indecently assaulting a former council worker in October 2002. He left the DUP soon afterwards, citing ill health, and stood down from his council seat soon afterwards, prompting a by-election. Kane contested the 2003 Assembly election as an independent, but took only 623 votes and was not elected.
