Andy Delort (9 October 1991) is a French professional footballer who currently plays for Ligue 1 club Toulouse.

He is a former France Under 20's international and has also represented the France Beach Soccer team. For the 2013–14 Ligue 2 season, Delort was named in the Team of the Year and nominated for Player of the Year.

Born in Sète, Delort started his career at FC Sète 34. He joined AC Ajaccio in 2008, having finished top scorer at France U19 league level with 30 goals. After coming through Ajaccio's youth ranks, he attracted interest from Bordeaux and Borussia Dortmund. After enjoying a trial at Borussia Dortmund, playing in the reserve team with Mario Götze and Shinji Kagawa, Dortmund offered him a contract. However, he chose to join Nîmes Olympique because of manager Jean-Michel Cavalli, claiming "a player who leapfrogs, burns his wings". Delort also turned down a contract offer from Bordeaux.

Delort played his first game of Ligue 2 for Nîmes on 30 August 2009, coming on as a 53rd-minute substitute against FC Metz. During the season, he was rarely used in the first team making only three substitute appearances.

Delort re-joined his original club AC Ajaccio on June 2010. He scored his first two goals at professional level on 15 September 2010 against Le Havre in the French League Cup before achieving his first goals in the French Cup on 12 November 2010. His first Ligue 2 goals contributed to victories against SCO Angers on 17 December 2010 and against FC Istres. He signed his first professional contract for three and a half years with AC Ajaccio on 28 January 2011. On 11 March 2011 he was one of the players involved in a mass brawl when he was replaced in the match against FC Nantes. As a result of the incident several players were given suspensions; both Delort and his teammate Carl Medjani received four-match bans. He earned promotion to Ligue 1 with AC Ajaccio during the 2010–11 season after finishing 2nd in the league.
