Benjamin Howard Rand (October 1, 1827 – February 14, 1883) was an American academic physician at Jefferson Medical College. He is depicted in Portrait of Professor Benjamin H. Rand, an 1874 painting by Thomas Eakins. It is oil on canvas and depicts Rand reading a book while petting a cat. In April 2007, the portrait of Rand was purchased by Alice L. Walton for an estimated US$20 million and will be housed at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
