Andor Szende (14 April 1886 – 22 May 1972) was a Hungarian figure skater who competed in men's singles. He was later a coach and architect.

He won bronze medals in men's single skating at three World Figure Skating Championships: in 1910, 1912, and 1913.[3][4][5]

He won the 1908 Hungarian junior national championships,[6] and the men's senior singles on four occasions: 1911, 1912, 1914 and 1922.[7] He was coached by Seiberth, from Bosnia, who worked in Budapest.[8]

Szende excelled in a number of sports, including athletics, tennis, speed skating and sports shooting. Later he worked as a coach and a tour guide.[1] His fate during the Holocaust is unknown, but he survived until 1972. He is buried at the Kozma Street Jewish Cemetery in Budapest.
