Andrew, Duke of Calabria (1327–1345), was a Hungarian prince of the Angevin house, younger son of Charles I of Hungary and brother of Louis the Great. Married as a child to his cousin Joanna I of Naples, he was denied the crown by her party and was murdered at Aversa in September 1345. His death gave Louis the Great a reason to invade the Kingdom of Naples in 1347–1348.
