Andrew Leonard Sevier, Sr. (November 9, 1894 – March 26, 1962), was an attorney from Tallulah, Louisiana, who served for thirty years from 1932 until his death as a Democratic member of the Louisiana State Senate. He represented the 32nd District, which then included Madison, East Carroll, Tensas, and Concordia parishes. He was the scion of a prominent Madison Parish family which traces its descent from John Sevier, a fighter in the American Revolution, former governor of Tennessee, and the namesake of Sevierville and Sevier County near Knoxville in eastern Tennessee.
Sevier was one of four sons of George Washington Sevier, Sr. (1858–1925), a native of Port Gibson, Mississippi, and the former Florence Arrenah Leonard (1867–1944) of Madison Parish. George and Florence Sevier married on November 23, 1883. George Sevier, Sr., was a member of the Madison Parish Police Jury, the parish governing body similar to county commissions in other states. He was the Madison Parish tax assessor from 1891 to 1916.
