Jessica Andrade is a Brazilian MMA competitor who fights in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and is a former UFC Women's Strawweight Champion. She was born in Umuarama, Brazil, on September 25, 1991.

She then had significant victories against fighters like Cláudia Gadelha, Tecia Torres, Karolina Kowalkiewicz, and Rose Namajunas to claim the strawweight title in 2019. However, she lost the title to Zhang 'Magnum' Weili in the same year. Andrade later switched back to the flyweight division, where she defeated Katlyn Chookagian and fought for the flyweight title against Valentina Shevchenko, which she unfortunately lost. She continued to switch weight classes, which also included her return to strawweight. Her fight against Tatiana Suarez ended in a loss via submission. However, she bounced back with a victory against Mackenzie Dern at UFC 295 via a TKO. Andrade's next opponent is Natalia Silva at UFC Fight Night: Burns vs. Brady on September 7, 2024.
