Andania (Greek: Ανδανία) is a former municipality in Messenia, Peloponnese, Greece.

It was celebrated as the birthplace of Aristomenes, but towards the end of the Second Messenian War, it was deserted by its inhabitants, who took refuge in the strong fortress of Ira.

Livy describes it as a parvum oppidum ("little town"),[4] and Pausanias, who extols the mysteries celebrated there,[5] saw only its ruins when he visited in the second century.

[6] It was situated on the road leading from Messene to Megalopolis.
