Andrea Bernasconi (c. 1706 – 24 January 1784) was an Italian composer.

He began his career in his native country as a composer of operas. In 1755 he was appointed to the post of Kapellmeister at the Bavarian court in Munich where he produced several more operas successfully and a few symphonies. After 1772 his compositional output consisted of entirely sacred music. He was the stepfather of soprano Antonia Bernasconi.[1]

His festa teatrale L'Huomo was performed 14 June 1754 at the ducal opera house in Bayreuth.[2][3] This one-act tragicomedy was commissioned by Princess Wilhelmine of Bayreuth based on her poem L'Homme, translated by Luigi Stampiglia.
