Ioan Andone (Romanian pronunciation: [iˈo̯an anˈdone]; born 15 March 1960) is a Romanian football coach and former player.

Andone made his Divizia A debut with Corvinul Hunedoara in 1979. He later went to Dinamo București where he helped win the league title in 1984 and 1990 and the cup title in 1984, 1986 and 1990. After the Romanian Revolution, he was bought by Spanish side Elche in 1990. Andone then went on to play two seasons in the Netherlands under head coach Fritz Korbach at Heerenveen before announcing his retirement in 1993. Andone was capped 55 times and scored two goals for the national team, and represented his country at the 1984 European Football Championship and 1990 World Cup.

Andone was banned from playing football for one year following the 1988 Romanian Cup final. Towards the end of the match with rivals Steaua, with the score at 1-1, Dinamo went into the lead following a headed goal by Gavrilă Balint. However, the linesman denied the goal for offside. In the ensuing melée, Steaua President Valentin Ceaușescu, son of then Romanian President, Nicolae, signalled for the Steaua players to leave the pitch. After the players had left the pitch, Ioan Andone shows middle fingers to Ceausescu in protest. He received a one-year ban for this action. In Communist Romania the power of the Ceaușescus was widespread and invaded every avenue of Romanian life, including football.

After retiring as a player, Andone started coaching Sportul Studențesc. He later coached U Cluj for two years, Sportul Studențesc for a second period, Petrolul Ploiești, FC Farul Constanța, FC Brașov, FC Bihor Oradea and Sportul Studențesc for a third time. In 2003 he took over Dinamo București, and led them to one league championship and three consecutive cup titles. In December 2005 he took over Cypriot club Omonia Nicosia and stayed there until January 2007.
