The Church of Saint Andreas is a Roman Catholic Parish Church situated in Düsseldorf, Germany. It is The Priory Church of the local Community of Dominican Friars, who also administer the much older Saint Lambertus Church.
The Church, Dedicated to Saint Andrew, was constructed between 1622 and 1629 in The South German Baroque Style. It was originally a Jesuit Church and also served as The Court Church for The Counts Palatine of Neuburg (House of Palatinate-Neuburg).
After The Dissolution of The Jesuit Order, in August 1773, it served as a Parish Church until 2005, when it became The Monastery Church of The Dominican Order. The building itself is now owned by The City of Düsseldorf.

The Church is furnished with stucco, by Johannes Kuhn from Strassburg, and life-size sculptures of The Apostles and of Saints of The Society of Jesus.
In the Late-17th- and Early-18th-Centuries, the Church was an important centre of Musical Culture in Düsseldorf. The composer Johann Hugo von Wilderer served as its Organist. The Mausoleum, designed by Venetian architect Simone del Sarto, contains the tombs of several Electors Palatine, including that of Johann Wilhelm.

The High Altar of the Church was destroyed during World War II. The new Altar, designed by Ewald Mataré, was built in 1960. Paintings by Ernst Deger can be found in the Church's two Side Altars, which are Dedicated to The Virgin Mary.

In 1972, the Church came under the Pastoral Care of the local Community of Dominican Friars and became their Priory Church.
The Organ dates back to an instrument built in 1782 by Peter Kemper, in a Casing by Bernhard Orlinski and Josef Zimmermann. In World War II, the Organ was damaged. In 1953, it was restored and expanded by eighteen Stops by the Organ builder Fabritius. In 1970 and 2003, the Organ was restored by Rudolf von Beckerath Orgelbau.
