Alessandro Andrei (born 3 January 1959) is an Italian former shot putter.

Andrei threw with his right hand, using the glide technique (at time many elite-level shot putters had switched to the spin/rotation style.)

Andrei won the gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles, California.

He was the first athlete in history to have a shot put series with all 6 throws over 22 meters, an accomplishment that wasn't repeated until 2020 by Ryan Crouser.

[2] Andrei won 12 national championships at individual senior level.
