Andheri ([ən̪d̪ʱeɾiː]) is a suburb situated in Western Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

The Prakritized form of the Sanskrit name "Andhaka-giri" is mentioned as a name of Andheri in the 15th-17th century Marathi-language text Mahikavatichi Bakhar.

Administratively, Andheri is a village in the Andheri taluka of the Mumbai Suburban district. It is bifurcated into Andheri (west) and Andheri (east). Andheri (west) comes under K/W ward of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), while Andheri (east) comes under the K/E ward of BMC.

Andheri east and west are key areas in Mumbai, where several film studios and TV news channels are located.

Andheri was the founding point of the local ice cream brand Pastonji.

Public transportation within Andheri is typically handled by BEST buses, metro and auto-rickshaws.

The Andheri railway station is among the busiest railway stations in the city. The expansion of the Mumbai Metro in the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar corridor is a part of the government's master transportation plan.
