Abdul Rahman Shahbandar (Arabic: عبد الرحمن الشهبندر; ALA-LC: ‘Abd al-Raḥman al-Shahbandar; November 6, 1879 – July 6, 1940) was a Syrian statesman and prominent nationalist figure during the French Mandate of Syria.

He was a leading opponent of compromise with the French colonial authority in Syria, and his devotion to Arab nationalism dated to the days of the Committee of Union and Progress and its "Turkification" policies.

In 1937 a French amnesty allowed him to return from exile and he directed his supporters to oppose the Franco-Syrian Treaty on the grounds that it granted France privileges that detracted from Syrian sovereignty.

During World War II the French considered cooperating with Shahbandar because of his opposition to the National Bloc and because of support for him from Britain and the Hashemites.

The French accused several prominent National Bloc figures, including Jamil Mardam and Saadallah al-Jabiri, of plotting the murder and they fled to Iraq.
