Sherpur Upazila (Bengali: শেরপুর উপজেলা) is an upazila of Bogra District in the Division of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Sherpur Thana was established in 1962 and was converted into an upazila in 1983.^[2] It is named after its administrative center, the town of Sherpur. It is said that there once lived Sher (Bengali: শের, tiger) family in the vicinity, from which the name "Sherpur" evolved.^{[citation needed]}
