Fukuko Ando (born 1964) is a fashion designer noted for her haute couture designs.

Ando was born in Japan but moved to Paris in 1991. In 1993 she worked with fashion house Christian Dior on her first internationally recognised clothing range. From 1999 to 2002, Ando collaborated with Christian Lacroix on his haute-couture collection.

In 2004 she exhibited at the Biennale de Paris.

In 2005, Ando designed and presented the Pleiades Collection. The collection comprised 140 individually designed dolls representing twenty variations of seven sisters named after the seven stars that form the Pleiades star cluster. The individuality of the dolls is based on the concept that "there are no two human bodies which are exactly the same".^{[citation needed]}
