Andrea Maria Schenkel (born 21 March 1962 in Regensburg, Germany) is a German writer. She published her debut novel Tannöd in 2006.

Based on the Hinterkaifeck murder in the 1920s, Schenkel’s fictional account takes place in the 1950s. She describes, in ghastly and suspenseful detail, how a small Bavarian village, called Tannöd, became the unlikely site of a horrific crime.
