Sveti Andrija (, meaning "Saint Andrew"), often called Svetac (, meaning "saint"), is an island in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea.

Svetac is situated from Komiža (a town on the island of Vis). It is uninhabited, although it used to have permanent residents. Approximately 300 meters off the southwest coast of the island there is the islet of Kamnik, and further on the open sea there is the volcanic island called Jabuka. About to the southeast there is the small volcanic island of Brusnik.
