Andrea Claudio Caroni (Italian pronunciation: [anˈdrɛːa ˈklaudjo kaˈroːni]; born 19 April 1980) is a Swiss lawyer and politician who currently serves on the Council of States since 2015.

He previously served on the National Council (Switzerland) between 2011 and 2015, then the only representative from the Canton of Appenzell-Ausserrhoden.

[4] His paternal grandfather, Dr. Claudio Caroni (1907-1984), an attorney and industrialist, was of Ticinese origin from Rancate.

In 1948, he took-over the delinquent Dornier plant in Altenrhein and rebranded them Flug- und Fahrzeugwerke Altenrhein (FFA) which manufactured airplanes, rail, funiculars, sailing boats, trams and road tankers.
