Doxander is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.

The name Doxander was originally given by Iredale to this genus in 1931. But since he did not provide a description, the name Doxander, Iredale, 1931 is no longer available under Art. 13.1 of the ICZN Code.
