Andriy Andriyovych (or Andrei Andreyevich) Biba (Russian: Андрей Андреевич Биба; Ukrainian: Андрій Андрійович Біба) (born 10 August 1937 in Kiev, in the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union) is a retired Soviet football player and Ukrainian coach.
Biba is acknowledged as one of the greatest attacking midfielders Eastern Europe has ever produced. As Guardian journalist Jonathan Wilson explains, he functioned as 'Bobby Charlton did in Alf Ramsey's England side' as an advanced attacking midfielder moving the ball around the attacking third with a howitzer shot. He enjoyed a starring role in the Dynamo Kiev team of Victor Maslov.
Biba played his only game for the USSR on 4 July 1965 in a friendly against Brazil starring Pelé.
