List of presidents of Bangladesh

The complete list of presidents of Bangladesh includes the persons sworn into the office as President of Bangladesh following the Bangladeshi Declaration of Independence in 1971.

Numbering
After Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the first President of Bangladesh, there is no single numbering system for the subsequent presidents that is universally accepted and followed, even by government representatives. Different sources may calculate the numbering in different ways, depending whether they count acting presidents, how multiple terms are treated, whether the count is by number of terms or number of individuals, and other factors. For example, A. Q. M. Badruddoza Chowdhury, although he served only a single term, has been described in a government publication and in the press as the 16th President of Bangladesh, as well as the 15th, the 13th and the 11th.

A list published in 2018 by Bdnews24.com appears to coincide with statements made by the country's Election Committee, making Abdul Hamid the 20th President when first elected in 2013, yet contradicts the numbering of a list published in 2016 on the President's own official website. The Bangladesh High Commission, Singapore, in 2018 lists him as the 22nd President. Other reports about previous presidents, including some by Bangladesh's newspaper of record the Daily Star, do not correspond with either list.
