This is a list of villages in Bangladesh. A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Some villages in Bangladesh may be covered in thickets of trees, including bamboo, coconut, date palm, betel nut, mango and jackfruit. [1]

Bangladesh is divided into 8 divisions (bibhag) and 64 districts (jela, zila, zela), although, these have only a limited role in public policy.For the purposes of local government, the country is divided into upazilas (sub-districts), "municipalities" or town councils (pourashova), city corporations (i.e. metropolitan municipal corporations) and union councils (i.e. rural councils).
The divisions of Bangladesh are further divided into districts or zilas (Bengali: জেলা). [1] The headquarters of a district is called the district seat (Bengali: জেলা সদর, romanized: zila sadar).
