Andrej Kvašňák (May 19, 1936 – April 18, 2007) was a Slovak football player. Born in Košice, he played for Czechoslovakia, for which he played 47 matches and scored 13 goals.

He was a participant in the 1962 FIFA World Cup, where Czechoslovakia finished second, and also in the 1970 FIFA World Cup.

In his country he played mostly for AC Sparta Praha. From September 1969 he played a few seasons for Racing Mechelen, a Belgian team.

Although often listed as a centre-forward, he was in fact a deeper-lying midfield schemer, forging a partnership in the centre of the park with Josef Masopust at international level.
