The Bangladesh Muslim League (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ মুসলিম লীগ) is a political party in Bangladesh that traces its origins to the All-India Muslim League, established in 1906.
Convention Muslim League, Council Muslim League and Qayyum Muslim League, breakaway groups of Pakistan Muslim League, were banned along with other Islamic parties after the independence of Bangladesh in 1971. It was once again legalized in 1976 when Abdus Sabur Khan united the three breakaway groups in Bangladesh and was elected president of the new party. A former leader of the party, Shah Azizur Rahman would become the Prime Minister of Bangladesh after joining the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
