Andrean High School is a coeducational Catholic college preparatory school located in Merrillville, Indiana. The school was founded in 1959, and named after the first bishop of the diocese of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gary, Andrew Grutka. Since its founding, Andrean has been staffed in part by members of the Basilian Fathers and the Sisters of Saints Cyril and Methodius.

Its current principal is the Rev. Paul E. Quanz, CSB.

The school's teams are the Fighting '59ers. This name comes from the address of the school, 5959 Broadway, and the year of its founding.

The school colors are red and gold in honor of the martyrdom and subsequent glory of St. Andrew. The school motto is "Magister Meus Christus," or "Christ is my teacher." The physical school building is actually laid out in the shape of the letter "A."
