List of municipal corporations in Bangladesh

Municipal corporations or municipalities (also known as pourasabha) (Bengali: পৌরসভা) are the local governing bodies of cities and towns in Bangladesh. There are 330 such municipal corporations in eight divisions of Bangladesh. A municipal corporation serving a town can also be called a town council, and a municipal corporation serving a city is styled a city council; these bodies are divided into wards, which are further divided into mauzas and mahallas. Direct elections are held for each ward, electing a chairperson and a number of members. The municipal heads are elected for a span of at least five years.
