Andreas Ottl (German pronun­cia­tion: [anˈdʁeːas ˈɔtl̩]; born 1 March 1985 in Munich, Bavaria) is a German footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder. He is currently a free agent. He signed his first professional contract for Bayern Munich on 1 July 2005. He played for Germany's U-21 Team. Ottl is a highly versatile player being able to play various midfield positions as well as playing as a defender.

Ottl began playing for Bayern Munich in 1996 after his parents had originally refused to let him leave hometown club Nord Lerchenau for Bayern. He played for the Junior Team where he won three youth championships, before being promoted to the reserve team in 2003. During the 2003–04 season, in the Regionalliga Süd, Ottl scored a goal in 25 matches. He would go to score five goals in 34 matches and make four appearances in the German Cup the following season. Having become a key player of the reserve team in the third division, he was given the chance to play for the senior team in 2005. At the time, Ottl was one of six players (along with Philipp Lahm, Christian Lell, Stephan Fürstner, Sandro Wagner) of the Bayern Munich junior team to feature in the Bundesliga squad. He signed professional forms on 1 July 2005, his first full-time contract, thus following in the footsteps of Bastian Schweinsteiger, Owen Hargreaves and others.
