Andrea Beaty (/ˈbeɪdi/) is an American children's author.

Beaty was born in Benton, Illinois and currently resides in Naperville, Illinois. As a child, she loved Nancy Drew mysteries. She attended Southern Illinois University and studied Biology and Computer Science. After graduating, she worked for a software company, doing some technical writing.
