Stefan Paul Andres (26 June 1906 – 29 June 1970) was a German novelist.

As the Nazi regime flexed its power,[how?] Andres moved away to Italy in 1937, returning to Germany 13 years later. [1] He was a widely read German writer in the post-World War II period. His most famous works are the novellas El Greco Paints the Grand Inquisitor (1936) and We Are Utopia (1942).[2]

He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.[3]
