Alfred Sandeman (1 January 1819 – 26 January 1883) was a politician in Queensland, Australia. He was a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.
Politics
The resignation of the sitting member for Port Curtis, Charles Fitzsimmons resulted in a by-election on 15 October 1861, at which Alfred Sandeman was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly.
However, in February 1863, Sandeman's constituents called on him to resign claiming that he rarely attended parliament and did nothing to advance issues of importance to their district. Sandeman resigned on 11 April 1863, triggering a by-election on 12 May 1863, at which John Douglas was elected.
