Andreas Felder (born 6 March 1962 in Hall, Tyrol) is a former Austrian ski jumper. In the 1980's and the early 1990's, he dominated ski jumping together with Jens Weißflog and Matti Nykänen. He finished in the top 5 overall five times in the World Cup, including a #1 ranking in the 1984/85 season. He won his first international championship medal at the 1982 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Oslo with a silver medal in the team large hill competition.

His big breakthrough came in the 1984/85 season. In December that year he won the World cup competition in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. He won six competitions in that season, but ended in 2nd place overall behind Matti Nykänen. At the 1985 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Seefeld, he won silver medals both in the individual normal hill and the team large hill. In 1986 he became Ski-flying world champion in Bad Mitterndorf, and at the 1987 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships at Oberstdorf, he became World Champion in the individual large hill and also won a bronze medal in the team large hill. In the 1990/91 season, Felder won his only Overall World Cup title and also won the team large hill gold medal at the 1991 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Val di Fiemme. He also won a silver medal in the team large hill at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville. Felder finished his career with victory on March 29, 1992 when he won the Ski-flying World cup competition in Planica.
