Adriaan Jakobus "Ad" Kaland (Dutch: [ɑt ˈkɑlɑnt]; 13 March 1922 – 11 January 1995) was a Dutch politician. Born in Westkapelle, he was a member of the municipal council of Middelburg between 1953 and 1962, serving as an alderman in his final four years. He joined the Provincial Council of Zeeland in 1958 and the Provincial Executive of Zeeland in 1962. He became a member of the Senate on 20 September 1977, and he left his provincial positions the following year. The Christian Historical Union (CHU), of which he was member, merged into the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) in 1980.[1] Kaland became the CDA's parliamentary leader in the Senate, staying on until he left the body on 31 December 1994.[1][2] He died in Zoutelande in 1978 aged 72.[2]
