Doxander is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs. ^[1]

The name Doxander was originally given by Iredale to this genus in 1931. ^[2] 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.
