The Andhra Pradesh Express was a Superfast South Central Railway train that used to run between Hyderabad and New Delhi. It operated daily, taking around 27 hours to cover the distance while passing through the states of Andhra Pradesh (present-day Telangana), Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana before reaching New Delhi.

Indian Railways had allocated the service number 12723 for the Hyderabad–New Delhi run, and service number 12724 for the New Delhi–Hyderabad run. The train service was first commissioned by Madhu Dandavate in 1976.
