Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh (born 19 November 1971) is a Bangladeshi politician and former mayor of South Dhaka. Previously, he served as a member of the Bangladesh Parliament for Dhaka-10 and Dhaka-12 from the Bangladesh Awami League. He is a grand-nephew of Bangladesh's first president, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and a first-cousin nephew of Sheikh Hasina. He reportedly fled from Bangladesh to Singapore on 3 August 2024, just days before the fall of Sheikh Hasina's regime on 5 August 2024. Since then, he has been charged over a death in custody and with corruption.
