Andrea Carandini (born 3 November 1937) is an Italian professor of archaeology specialising in ancient Rome.

Carandini was a student of Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli, completing his laurea in 1962 with a thesis on the Roman villa of Piazza Armerina.

His research is focused on the topography of ancient Rome, Etruria in the Roman period, and the analysis of monumental complexes in various cities in Italy including Volterra, Grumentum, Pompeii, and Veii.

Since 1993 he has coordinated a project in Rome's suburbium and the Tiber Valley in conjunction with the Soprintendenza Archeologica and the Sovrintendenza Comunale di Roma.

[3] In the 1990s Carandini was also involved in the excavation of the Auditorium site in Rome,[4] a substantial domestic structure dating to the fifth century B.C.
