Robert Henry Brand, 1st Baron Brand (30 October 1878 - 23 August 1963) was a British civil servant, businessman, and Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. His father Henry Brand, 2nd Viscount Hampden had been Governor of New South Wales, while his grandfather, the 1st Viscount, was speaker of the House of Commons. Brand graduated from New College, Oxford in 1901 and subsequently gained his fellowship at All Souls. From 1902, during the period of reconstruction following the Second Boer War, he joined Alfred Milner's Civil Service in South Africa, where he was appointed "Secretary of the Intercolonial Council of the Transvaal and Orange River Colony", and was thus seen as a member of Milner's Kindergarten, which, according to Carroll Quigley, he lead from 1955 to 1963. He joined Lazard Brothers and Company in 1909, soon becoming a managing director.
