Andres Perez Rivero (born April 15, 1975) is an Argentine cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who has played with the Argentine cricket team since 1994.

Rivero's debut came in a game between North and South Argentina in 1993, Rivero representing the victorious South of Argentina side in the tailend, alongside team-mate Ignacio Shimamoto. Rivero played in another North vs. South game the following season, and made his debut appearance for Argentina just a month later, in the 1994 ICC Trophy tournament, in a fixture against Fiji, against whom Argentina were victorious thanks to centuries from Guillermo Kirschbaum and Donnie Forrester.

Rivero palyed in the South American Championship tournament in the 1995/96 season, and was in the squad for the ICC Trophy tournament of 1997, playing seven games in the Argentine middle order. Again Rivero was called up to the South American Championship squad in 1997/98, and in the Americas Championship in 2000.

Rivero joined the team for his second ICC Trophy competition in 2001, this time as a lower-order batsman and a useful bowler. Rivero played four games in this competition, but didn't represent Argentina again until the set-up of the ICC World Cricket League, in which he played one match in 2006. Rivero has not represented the Argentine team since.
