Andressa Fernandes Corrêa (born October 27, 1986) is a Brazilian judoka, who played for the half-lightweight category.[1] She won three medals (one gold and two silver) for the extra- and half-lightweight categories at the South American Games.

Fernandes represented Brazil at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's 52 kg class. She received a last-minute place for the national team as a replacement for Érika Miranda, who immediately withdrew from the games because of a knee injury.[2] With a short time of training and full preparation, Fernandes, however, lost the first preliminary match against Dominican Republic's María García, who was able to score a yuko within the five-minute period.[3]
