Andorno Micca (Piedmontese: Andorn) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Biella in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 70 kilometres (43 mi) northeast of Turin and about 4 kilometres (2 mi) northwest of Biella.
It is located in the Valle Cervo, at the feet of the Biellese Prealps.
The comune takes its second name from Pietro Micca, a hero of the siege of Turin against the French (1706).
The Sacro Monte di Andorno is named after this village, although it is not in the comune territory.
