Andrea Falcone (Naples, 1630 - Naples, 1677) was an Italian Baroque sculptor. Nephew of Aniello Falcone (1600-1665), a prominent Caravaggesque battle painter, he inherited some of his designs and a house in Selleria. Baptized by the painter Andrea Vaccaro, he was a disciple of the sculptor Cosimo Fanzago and collaborated on his works. His work is mainly focused in Naples, where he created marble sculptures and polychromed wood for the Neapolitan nativity scene. His works are found mainly in Naples and Rome.
