Andreas Stylianou was a Cypriot footballer who played for APOEL FC.

Stylianou was a student in Greece and a footballer for Panionios until 1963 when he returned to Cyprus. His first competitive match for APOEL was in the European Cup of Champions against Lin Oslo. APOEL won 6-0 and became the first Cypriot (or Greek for that matter) side to advance into the second round of a European Cup.

Stylianou was instrumental in APOEL winning two championships (1965, 1973); four Cyprus Cups (1968, 1969, 1973, 1976) and one Shield (1963).

He was crowned top scorer of the Cypriot Football A Division twice: in 1967 (29 goals) and 1971 (11 goals).

Stylianou was player of the year in 1973. He ended his career early in the 1978 season.
