Is there a shapeshifting class that let you change form by alignment?

I think there is a monk archetype like that.

It’s not actual shapeshifting, but the Incarnate Avatar Spulmeld lets you look like a different outsider depending on alignment, and if you don’t take it as an Incarnate, you don’t get the one alignment only limit on it(so LE benefits pretty well from it and can look pretty awesome depending on how you mash up a marut and nycaloth).

Demonbinders require Evil and let your drow blooded warlock shift into demons. It shouldn’t be too much of a stretch to copy the class for celestials.

If you have Familiar Form you can sort of shapeshift based on alignment since many improved familiars require you be a certain alignment.

Out of curiosity, why would you want this? I mean, classes that involve shapeshifting are typically pretty powerful; why would you instead want something that limits that?

That said, there is a template - Mulhorandi Divine Minion (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mb/20050209a) - that turns you into an Outsider in service to a deity, and gives you the ability to transform into one of a list of animal forms as a free action. Your selection is based on your deity, and your choice of deity locks in your alignment, so they're sort of alignment-based.

The Cleric spell Visage of the Deity (and its Lesser and Greater versions) sort of do this.

Planar Shepherd's expanded Wild Shape forms and to a lesser extent the Exalted Wild Shape feat are at least strongly correlated with alignment.
