Andrés is a male given name of Spanish origin, the form of Andrew in Spanish. It derives from the Greek name Andreas, which is commonly interpreted as meaning 'manly' or 'brave'—a 'warrior' or 'masculine' person.

The name is widely used in Spain and the Spanish-speaking world, including most of Latin America. In Spanish, the diacritic on the second syllable marks a stressed syllable. Variants and related forms include André in French and Portuguese, Andreas in German and Dutch, and Andrew in English. The Spanish form Andrés is sometimes written without the accent in other languages or contexts as Andres.

Diminutives and nicknames: Andrésito; other affectionate forms vary by region.

Notable people named Andrés include Andrés Manuel López Obrador (born 1953), Mexican politician and president since 2018; Andrés Iniesta (born 1984), Spanish footballer; Andrés Segovia (1893–1987), Spanish guitarist; Andrés Calamaro (born 1961), Argentine musician.
