Captain Fernão Pires de Andrade (also spelled as Fernão Perez de Andrade) was a Portuguese merchant and official under the explorer and Malacca governor Alfonso d'Albuquerque.
King Manuel I authorized a trade mission in 1517 when de Andrade set sail with 7 cannon-armed merchant vessels with a Muslim interpreter on June 17, 1517.
Ming government denied the trade request but allowed de Andrade to sell all his goods on hand at Canton before leaving.
