In [[Greek mythology]], '''Andreus''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|æ|n|d|r|i|ə|s}}; {{langx|grc|Ἀνδρεύς}}) may refer to two distinct individuals:

* Andreus, son of the [[river-god]] [[Peneus]] in [[Thessaly]], from whom the district about [[Orchomenus (Boeotia)|Orchomenos]] in [[Boeotia]] was called ''Andreis''.<ref>[[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], 9.34.6</ref> With [[Euippe|Evippe]], daughter of [[Leucon]], Andreus had a son [[Eteocles of Orchomenus|Eteocles]], his successor.<ref>Pausanias, 9.34.9–35.1</ref>
* Andreus, in another passage [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]] speaks of Andreus (it is, however, uncertain whether he means the same man as the former) as the person who first colonized the island of [[Andros]].<ref>Pausanias, 10.13.4</ref> According to [[Diodorus Siculus]], Andreus was one of the generals of [[Rhadamanthys]], from whom he received the island afterwards called Andros as a present.<ref>[[Diodorus Siculus]], 5.79.2</ref> [[Stephanus of Byzantium]],<ref>[[Suda]] s.v. ''Andros''</ref> [[Conon]]<ref>[[Conon (mythographer)|Conon]], ''Narrations'' 41</ref> and [[Ovid]]<ref>[[Ovid]], ''[[Metamorphoses]]'' 14.639</ref> call this first colonizer "Andrus" (son of [[Anius]]) and not Andreus.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.mythindex.com/greek-mythology/A/Andreus.html |title=Myth Index - Andreus |access-date=2011-01-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101216110529/http://mythindex.com/greek-mythology/A/Andreus.html |archive-date=2010-12-16 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
