Andrée Savoie (born about 1667) was a child of the colony of Acadie. She was the seventh great-grandmother of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), through her son Joseph Préjean (born 1696).

She was a daughter of François Savoie (born 1621) and Catherine LeJeune (born 1633), and a younger sister of Catherine Savoie (born 1661), Floyd’s eighth great-grandmother.
