Andrea Caracciolo (born 18 September 1981) is an Italian footballer who plays as a striker for Italian club Brescia in Serie B.
Caracciolo first football appearances were for Sancolombano of Italian Serie D (amateur league); later playing for Como and Pro Vercelli, both in professional leagues, before being signed by Brescia in June 2001, in co-ownership deal for lire 470 million (€242,735).
Caracciolo made his Serie A debut on 6 January 2002, against Bologna. In June 2002, Brescia bought him outright.
During the 2002–03 Serie A season he played for Perugia, before returning to Brescia, scoring 12 goals at the end of the 2003–04 season.
After the relegation of Brescia, he was signed by Palermo on 1 July 2005, for €9 million., with €3 million being converted to the signing of Davide Possanzini. He soon became Luca Toni's replacement, who left for Fiorentina. In the 2005–06 season, Caracciolo played 35 games, scoring 9 goals. In the next season, Caracciolo has limited chance since the arrival of Amauri and David Di Michele. He scored only 5 goals in 27 matches, and made 17 starts.
