Andrea Caracciolo (born September 18, 1981 in Milan), is an Italian footballer.

His first football appearances were for Sancolombano of Italian Serie D (amateur league); later playing for Como and Pro Vercelli, both in professional leagues, before being signed by Brescia, the team in which he made his Serie A debut on 6 January 2002, against Bologna.

During the 2002–2003 Serie A season he played for Perugia, before returning to Brescia, scoring 12 goals at the end of the 2003–2004 season.

In November 2004, he made his debut for the Italian national team in a friendly match against Finland.

He later signed with US Palermo during the summer of 2005. In 2005–2006, Caracciolo played 35 times, scoring 9 goals.

On August 16, 2006 he was recalled to the Azzurri squad by new coach Roberto Donadoni for a friendly game against Croatia, replacing Cristiano Lucarelli in 65th minute.

He also played for the Italy U-21 team, with whom he won a European U-21 Championship in 2004.

In the 2006–2007 season, Caracciolo scored only 5 goals in 27 matches, and on June 2007 was sold to Sampdoria in a co-ownership bid.[1]

On January 31, 2008 Caracciolo agreed to return to Brescia, now in Serie B, in a permanent transfer.
