Andreas Evald Cornelius (born 16 March 1993) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Danish Superliga club F.C. Copenhagen and the Denmark national team.

Cornelius played his first Superliga match on 9 April 2012, coming on as a substitute for César Santin against AGF at NRGi Park in Aarhus. In the previous Superliga match (against Brøndby at Parken Stadium on 5 April 2012), Cornelius was an unused substitute.

Previously, Cornelius had joined the first team squad for their training camps in July 2011 and January 2012.

On 20 May 2012, it was announced that Cornelius would join the first team squad on a permanent basis at the beginning of the upcoming season, together with Christoffer Remmer and Jakob Busk.

He scored his first goal for Copenhagen against Midtjylland in the first game of the new season 2012–13. Cornelius scored the opening goal against Odense in a 2–2 draw. The teenager scored the winning goal against Molde FK in the Europa League on 20 September.

Cornelius was awarded player of the month in the Danish Superliga on 7 October 2012. On 15 April, Cornelius scored the final goal in a 3–2 win against FC Nordsjælland. This gave FCK a 10-point lead in the league to number 2, and was crucial for Copenhagen winning the title.
