Andressa Alves da Silva (born 10 November 1992), commonly known as Andressa Alves or simply Andressa, is a Brazilian football forward who plays for Primera División club FC Barcelona. She previously played for Montpellier of the French Division 1 Féminine. She won her first cap for the Brazil women's national football team in 2012 and represented her country at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Andressa transferred from Centro Olímpico to Ferroviária in May 2013. In November 2013, Andressa left Ferroviária to sign for 2013 Copa Libertadores Femenina winners São José.
In November 2014 she ended her stay in São José and signed a contract with NWSL team Boston Breakers. Ultimately she never joined the Breakers as she was instead called into Brazil's residency camp for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. During the World Cup, French club Montpellier announced that they had concluded the transfer of Andressa.
Andressa left Montpellier after one season, signing for FC Barcelona in June 2016.
