Alexander Barclay Shand (26 December 1865 – 3 October 1949) was an Australian barrister and King's Counsel.
Shand refused an invitation to become a New South Wales Supreme Court Judge[3] but served as a Royal Commissioner.
John Shand (1825–1891) had arrived in Sydney in 1853 as a stonemason before becoming a farmer and finally a police magistrate at Penrith Court.
Shand Snr founded a legal dynasty that produced three generations of barristers.
His wife, Florence (née Brierley), became a tireless worker for the poor and infirm and sat on the boards of various hospitals, schools and women's auxiliaries.
