Andreyas (Ge'ez: አንድሬያስ) was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1429 to 1430, and a member of the Solomonic dynasty. He was a son of Yeshaq I, succeeded his father when he was very young. According to Al-Maqrizi, his reign lasted only four months, whereas the short chronicles states he reigned for a period of six months. His uncle Takla Maryam reigned after him.[3]

The British explorer James Bruce, who wrote one of the earliest European histories of Abyssinia, reports little more than Andreyas was buried with his father at the Tadbaba Maryam monastery.[4]
