Andreas "Andi" Zuber (born 9 October 1983 in Judenburg, Austria) is a retired racing driver. Originally Austrian and residing in Dubai, he also competed under a United Arab Emirates racing license.

Formula König

Zuber initiated his karting career in 1998 and made his first appearance in the Formula König championship in 2000 with Team Böhm Sport, ending the season twelfth with a total of 39 points.

Formula Renault

In 2001, Zuber participated simultaneously in the Formula Renault 2.0 Germany and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series, driving for Motopark Academy. He secured sixth place in the German championship, while in the Eurocup he ranked 54th, achieving his best finish of seventeenth at the A1-Ring.

He continued competing in the German series with Motopark Academy in 2002, improving to second place behind Ferdinand Kool. Additionally, he appeared as a guest competitor at the Eurocup round held in Oschersleben.

Formula Three

During the 2003 season, Zuber raced in the Formula 3 Euro Series for Team Rosberg, finishing 24th overall with two points earned from a seventh-place finish at Le Mans. He remained with Team Rosberg in 2004 but ended the year 21st without scoring points; his top result was ninth place at Brno.

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

In 2005, Zuber joined Carlin Motorsport to compete in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series. He completed the season sixth in the standings, achieving one victory at Estoril and securing pole position during the event at Valencia.

GP2 Series

Zuber stepped into the GP2 Series in 2006 with newly established Trident Racing alongside teammate Gianmaria Bruni. Despite a slow start to the year, he claimed his inaugural GP2 win at Istanbul Park by holding off eventual champion Lewis Hamilton, concluding the championship in 14th position.

The following year, Zuber switched to iSport International to partner with Timo Glock. At Silverstone, he delivered an exceptional performance by capturing pole position, winning the race, and setting the fastest lap; nonetheless, inconsistent results led him to finish ninth overall while Glock secured the championship title. Notably, both teammates collided during the Magny-Cours round after starting from the front row.

In 2008, Zuber joined Piquet Sports alongside Pastor Maldonado. He earned four podium finishes and again placed ninth in the championship but did not record any wins and was outscored by Maldonado, who finished fifth with nearly twice as many points. His season included a seven-race stretch without scoring and a disqualification from third place at Spa-Francorchamps due to a technical violation that he and his team regarded as unjust. Additionally, Zuber competed in the initial two rounds of the 2008–09 GP2 Asia Series for FMS International before being replaced by Rodolfo González.

Returning to FMS International for the 2009 GP2 season alongside Luiz Razia, Zuber achieved further podiums but experienced turbulence: Giancarlo Fisichella sold his ownership stake back to Coloni Motorsport’s original proprietors, and the team missed round eight after its cars were seized following legal proceedings initiated by former driver Andy Soucek. Zuber completed that season ranked 13th overall.

Superleague Formula

Zuber also took part in the Superleague Formula series representing Al Ain, a championship where vehicles are affiliated with football clubs.
