Warren Ed Rand, known as Ed Rand (February 4, 1920 – March 26, 1999), was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from Alexandria, Louisiana, who served a single term from 1960 to 1964 during the administration of Governor Jimmie Davis.^[1]

Rand graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, then known as the University of Southwestern Louisiana in Lafayette. He was a past president of the Alexandria Jaycees and a long-term member of the First United Methodist Church on Jackson Street in Alexandria. He was engaged in the real estate and life insurance businesses in Alexandria. He had a second residence on an oxbow lake of the Mississippi River, Lake St. John, in Concordia Parish in eastern Louisiana.^[2]

At the time Rand served in the legislature, Rapides Parish had three at-large members of the lower House. Single-member districts did not begin until 1972, with the first administration of Governor Edwin Edwards.^[1]

Rand was married to the former Florence Marie Robinson (1925-2005), and the couple had a daughter, Ellen R. Thrash of Baton Rouge, and two grandsons. They are interred at Greenwood Memorial Park in Pineville, Louisiana.
