Augustine Garland (born 1603) was an English lawyer, and one of the Regicides of King Charles I of England.
Garland was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and Lincoln's Inn. He was M.P. for Queenborough in 1648. He presided over the committee to consider method of the king's trial, and in 1649 signed death-warrant. In 1660, after the Restoration, he was condemned to death, but suffered only confiscation of his property and imprisonment.
