Andy Fleming, also known as Slackbastard, is the pseudonym of an Australian anarcho-communist journalist, academic, and activist, known for his study of far-right parties and movements in Australia. He has written for Guardian Australia, New Matilda, and the Overland journal.

Fleming's blog Slackbastard has reportedly received 7.5 million views since its foundation in 2005. He has studied nationalist groups such as the United Patriots Front and Reclaim Australia and has been defined as a "reliable source" on the topic by fact-checking company Snopes.

His use of politically motivated doxxing has been criticised as a form of political violence. Despite attempts to identity Fleming, they currently remain anonymous.
