The Mausoleum of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (Bengali: বঙ্গবন্ধু শেখ মুজিবুর রহমানের সমাধিসৌধ) is the mausoleum of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founder and the first president of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. It is located in Tungipara of Gopalganj district, the birthplace of Mujib, and was designed by architects Ehsan Khan, Ishtiaque Jahir and Iqbal Habib.

After Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was assassinated in 1975, he was buried in his native Tungipara. For many years the military junta restricted access to the grave site. After the Awami League was elected in the 1996 general election, the Department of Archaeology officially commenced construction of the complex, which was opened in 2001.^[1]
