ISO 3166-2:BD is the entry in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions of Bangladesh (whose ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is BD).
Currently two levels of subdivisions are assigned codes:
- 6 divisions — Each code is a number (1–6).
- 64 districts — Each code starts with BD-, followed by two digits (01–64).

Current codes
Codes and subdivision names are listed as in the official standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA). Click on the button in the header to sort each column.
Divisions
These codes are defined in the official standard without the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the country as prefix, and thus do not guarantee uniqueness in a global context by themselves. They can be completed by adding BD-.
| Code | Subdivision name |
|---|---|
| 1 | Barisal bibhag |
| 2 | Chittagong bibhag |
| 3 | Dhaka bibhag |
| 4 | Khulna bibhag |
| 5 | Rajshahi bibhag |
| 6 | Sylhet bibhag |
