Same-sex marriage has been legal in Andorra since 17 February 2023. Andorra first established stable unions on 23 March 2005, providing same-sex couples with some of the rights and benefits of marriage, and later enacted civil unions on 25 December 2014, offering a greater set of rights. On 21 July 2022, the General Council voted to open civil marriage to same-sex couples. The law was promulgated by Co-Prince Emmanuel Macron on 17 August 2022, and came into effect six months later (i.e. 17 February 2023).

Andorra was the second European microstate, the nineteenth country in Europe and the 34th in the world to allow same-sex couples to marry. Civil unions are no longer available in Andorra and marriage is now the only legally recognized form of union for couples regardless of sex.
