Ardre is a settlement on the Swedish island of Gotland. Formerly a socken, on 1 January 2016, it was reconstituted into the administrative area Ardre District. It is most noted for the Viking Ardre image stones found under the floor boards of the Ardre Church.

Ardre is situated on the central east coast of Gotland, with the island's oldest seaside resort Ljugarn as the main locality in the socken. The medieval Ardre Church is located in Ardre.

One of the asteroids in the asteroid belt, 10130 Ardre, is named after this place.
