Andrea Arlene Anderson (born September 17, 1977) is an American track and field athlete best remembered for winning a gold medal on the 4 × 400 meters relay team at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.

[1] Anderson subsequently had to return her medal along with the rest of the team after Marion Jones was disqualified following her admission to using performance-enhancing drugs.

On July 16, 2010, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled in favor of the other American teammates and returned the medals.

[4] She ran collegiately at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under Bob Kersee.

The following year at the 1996 World Junior Championships in Athletics she got a preview of the Sydney track while winning a gold medal on the USA 4 × 100 m relay and taking an individual silver medal in the 100 metres, setting her lifetime PR of 11.43.
