Muhammad Asadullah Al-Ghalib (Bengali: মুহম্মদ আসাদুল্লাহ আল-গালিব; born 15 January 1948) is a Bangladeshi reformist Islamic scholar, educator, reformist preacher, and former professor of Arabic at the University of Rajshahi. He is best known as the founder and Ameer (President) of the Ahlehadeeth Andolon Bangladesh, a Salafi Islamic reform movement. He is also the founder of several Islamic educational and charitable institutions across Bangladesh. He is also the founder of an Islamic research journal, Monthly At-tahreek.
On 23 February 2005, the Bangladesh government arrested him following allegations of Islamic militancy.

However, he denied any involvement with Islamic militancy and was freed from jail on 28 August 2008. He was eventually acquitted of all charges.
