Biandrate (Piedmontese: Biandrà, Lombard: Biandraa) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Novara in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 70 kilometres (43 miles) northeast of Turin and about 12 km (7 mi) west of Novara.

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Biandrate regained importance only from the 10th century, when its counts held large territories in the area.

His successor Guido Guidone was named by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa as imperial commander of the area and of the Bishopric of Novara.

He fought against Pavia but, after Barbarossa' defeat at the battle of Legnano, he was attacked by the Lombard League and Biandrate was destroyed.

Later it was held by different families: (Visconti, Facino Cane, Sforza) after which it became part of the Duchy of Savoy.
