Andrea Del Boca (born October 18, 1965 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine and Italian telenovela actress.

Del Boca made her debut as a four-year-old in a television show hosted by Teresa Blasco. Later on, she starred in La familia hoy duerme en casa and Había una vez un circo, with the famous Spanish clowns: Gaby, Fofó and Miliky (1970).

But it was her participation in Papá corazón that conquered the hearts of many Argentinian television viewers, as Pinina. After that telenovela gave her major celebrity status, she moved on to film, starting to act in that genre, with Andrea (1970) and Papá corazón se quiere casar (1974), followed by Un mundo de amor (1975).

She cemented her status as "the Queen of Telenovelas". In 1987 she starred in Estrellita mía, aired in some countries as Stellina. It turned out a big hit, as well as her next series, Celeste (1991), where she played the title role. This production gained such popularity, that two years later a sequel was shot. In 1992 Del Boca achieved another success, this time with Antonella, where she played the main character too. Both in Celeste and Antonella, she played opposite Gustavo Bermúdez.

One of her most famous post-childhood telenovela is 1994 Perla negra, where she starred alongside Argentine sex symbol Gabriel Corrado. This telenovela was another major success, and, like many of her other series, it was also a major international hit. In 1996 she starred in Zingara and two years later also participated in Chiquititas.

In the late 1990s, she became engaged to businessman Ricardo Biasotti, and in 2000, Del Boca gave birth to a daughter, Anna.
