Andrew, son of Serafin (; died 11 April 1241) was a Hungarian baron and landowner, who held several secular positions during the reign of kings Andrew II and Béla IV.
His influence arose during the reign of Andrew II. He was a supporter of prince Béla, thus he held functions in the princely court. He served as master of the stewards for Béla twice, in 1225 and from 1231 to 1233.Zsoldos 2011, pp. 70–71. According to László Markó, he was the ispán (comes) of Borsod County in 1230.Markó 2006, p. 269. He was the last voivode for Andrew II in 1235, when Béla held the title of duke of Transylvania.Engel 2001, p. 382.Zsoldos 2011, p. 38. After Béla IV ascended the throne in 1235, he was replaced by Pousa, son of Sólyom. Andrew functioned as ispán of Pozsony County between 1235 and 1240 (or 1241).Zsoldos 2011, p. 184.
In 1239, he was nominated judge royal by Béla IV.Zsoldos 2011, p. 30. He was killed in the Battle of Mohi on 11 April 1241 and later replaced by Paul Geregye.
