Sheikh Mohammad Aslam (Bengali: শেখ মোহাম্মদ আসলাম; born 1 March 1958), popularly known as Aslam, is a Bangladeshi former footballer. He played as a specialist striker and was one of the most lethal marksmen in domestic league during the 1980s and 1990s. He gained fame while playing for Dhaka Abahani, one of Dhaka's two major football clubs. He was a linchpin of several league-winning Abahani sides, and was the league's leading scorer a record five times.
With 177 goals in the First Division/Premier Division League, Aslam is the all-time top scorer in Bangladeshi top-flight football. He also has 38 international goals for club and country, although many of them came during unofficial matches and are unrecorded. Aslam has 14 official international goals for the Bangladesh national team during his 15-year spell representing his country. He is said to have scored more than 300 goals in domestic and international football combined.
He later worked for the Bangladesh Football Federation after retiring.
