Andrew (Hungarian: András; died 1186) was a prelate in the Kingdom of Hungary in the second half of the 12th century. He was Archbishop of Kalocsa between 1176 and 1186, and Bishop of Győr from 1169 to 1176.[1]

Andrew was a favorite of Béla III of Hungary until deterioration of their relationship around 1178.[2][3] Béla soon deprived the Archbishop and his supporter, the Provost of Székesfehérvár Chapter, of their office and seized the revenues of the archbishopric.[3][2] Pope Alexander III supported the prelates, punishing Béla with ecclesiastic sanctions.[2] Béla III reconciled with Lucas, Archbishop of Esztergom, who was willing to absolve him and excommunicated Andrew of Kalocsa.[2] The conflict ended with a compromise mediated by the Holy See: Archbishop Andrew asked the monarch's pardon and the King restored him.[3]

He attended the Third Council of the Lateran in 1179. He spent almost all time of his tenure in Rome.[4]
