Andrea Brachfeld is an American jazz and Latin jazz flutist.

Brachfeld is a graduate of The High School of Music and Art and the Manhattan School of Music. She studied with Hubert Laws, Jimmy Heath, George Coleman, and Mike Longo.

Since she began her professional career as a musician at age 16, she has recorded and played many different genres of music including jazz, Latin jazz, charanga, funk, country, and devotional music.

She has worked with Alfredo de la Fé, Bill O'Connell, Roberto Carcassés, Dave Valentin, Hilton Ruiz, Joe Newman, Kenwood Dennard, Nestor Torres, Oscar Hernandez, Paquito D'Rivera, Ralph Irrizarry, Ray Barretto, Rufus Reid, Steve Turre, Tito Puente, Wallace Roney, Wayne Wallace, Winard Harper, and Wycliffe Gordon.

Her breakthrough came when she became flutist for the Latin band Charanga '76. She is also an integral part of the Wallace Roney Universe Orchestra, playing Wayne Shorter's long lost music originally written for Miles Davis.
She received the Chico O'Farrill Lifetime Achievement Award from Latin Jazz USA in October 2006 and the Pionero Award in 2010 for her contribution to Latin music. Her most recent award, "Tribute to the Charanga Flutes," given by Charanga Legends USA, was presented to her in August 2012.
