Andréetangen is a headland at the eastern side of Tjuvfjorden on the southwestern coast of Edgeøya, Svalbard. The headland is named after German geographer Karl Andrée. Off the headland are the two islands Zieglerøya and Delitschøya. Andréetangen lies within the Søraust-Svalbard Nature Reserve, and its low-lying tundra coastline is rich in biodiversity. It is known for its walruses which bask on the beach, and as a breeding ground for Arctic skua, Purple sandpiper, Arctic tern and snow bunting. A hut was built at Andréetangen by the polar bear trapper Henry Rudi in 1946.
