Andrei Florin Rațiu (Romanian pronunciation: [anˈdrej floˈrin ˈrat͡sju]; born 20 June 1998) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for La Liga club Rayo Vallecano and the Romania national team.

Rațiu progressed through the Villarreal youth academy, but did not make his debut for the first team. After a loan spell at Dutch club ADO Den Haag between 2020 and 2021, he moved to Huesca. Two years later, he transferred to Rayo Vallecano, with which he registered his La Liga debut.

Rațiu made his senior international debut for Romania in September 2021, in a 2–0 win over Iceland. He represented the country in the UEFA Euro 2024.
