Bangladeshi Politicians Abroad

Bangladeshi politicians abroad (or Bangladeshi-origin politicians) are a growing group of individuals who are involved in politics and public service in their adopted countries. They come from all walks of life, and some are first-generation immigrants while others are later generations. Most Bangladeshi politicians abroad are located in the United Kingdom, the United States, and some European countries. Some are involved at the national level, while others are involved at the local level.

Bangladeshi politicians abroad play an important role in promoting the interests of Bangladeshi diaspora in their adopted country. Here is a partial list of Bangladeshi politicians abroad (past and present):
