Ando Cloisonné Company (安藤七宝店 Ando Shipōyaki) is a Japanese cloisonné making company located in Sakae, Nagoya, central Japan.

The history goes back to the 19th century. It continues the work of Ando Jubei. For a while Kawade Shibatarō was the head of the studio. As of 1918, at least fifty cloisonné artists worked there.[1] The company was given an Imperial Warrant of Appointment to the Japanese court. It is one of the very few traditional cloisonné companies still left in Japan.[2]

Objects from Ando are held in the collection of the Walters Art Museum[3] and in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
