The Bangladesh national badminton team (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ জাতীয় ব্যাডমিন্টন দল) represents Bangladesh in international badminton team competitions and is controlled by the Bangladesh Badminton Federation, the governing body for badminton in Bangladesh.[1] The Bangladeshi junior mixed team competed in the 2011 Asian Junior Badminton Championships.

Badminton was introduced to Bangladesh in the 1900s by the British. At the time, the sport was only played throughout urban areas.[2] In 1972, the Bangladesh Badminton Federation was formed and the sport started to gain popularity. The national team competed in one of their first international team events at the 2004 South Asian Games.
