William "Barbosa" Bland (Bill Bland) (28 April 1916 – 13 March 2001) was a British Marxist-Leninist and optician, best known as a proponent of Hoxhaism. Bland was born in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, and attended Manchester Grammar School. His father was director of a printing works, but lost his job during the Depression, and Bland had to leave school to find work at 15. After a visit to the Soviet Union in 1937, Bland migrated to New Zealand in 1938-39. He returned to England in 1950.
