Andre Arendse (born June 27, 1967 in Cape Town, Western Cape) is a South African football goalkeeper.
He played mostly for Oxford United, Fulham FC (both England), Cape Town Spurs, Santos, Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United. He is also a co-presenter with SuperSport, South Africa's sporting channel(s).
He played for South Africa national football team. He was initially in the 1998 FIFA World Cup squad, but had to pull out due to injury. His replacement Paul Evans also withdrew through injury and was replaced by Simon Gopane, who was the first-ever goalkeeper to wear number 23 in the finals.
