William Alysaundre

William Alysaundre (died after 1313) was an Irish judge and Crown official in the reign of King Edward I of England.

He was living in Dublin in 1286. In 1299 he was High Sheriff of Kildare, apparently the first recorded holder of the office. In 1302 he was appointed an itinerant justice. It is known that he went on circuit as judge in County Tipperary, and an order survives in the Close Rolls of 1306 for the payment of his half-years' salary of £10 in connection with his duties as a judge in Tipperary. He was appointed justice of the Court of the Justiciar of Ireland in 1311. He was Deputy Custos Rotulorum of Ireland in 1313.
