The Sheikh Mujib family (Bengali: শেখ মুজিব পরিবার) is a prominent Bangladeshi political dynasty, which primarily consists of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Sheikh Hasina and their relatives.
The Sheikh Mujib family is most powerful family In Bangladesh. Their political involvement has traditionally revolved around the Bangladesh Awami League.[1][2][3][4]
The first Sheikh family member to come to Bengal was Sheikh Awwal. He was originally from Baghdad but settled in Chittagong in the 15th century, after he visited the region to preach Islam. He was married to a Bengali woman from Sonargaon and settled over there with his wife. His son, Sheikh Zahiruddin, married a girl from the Khandakar family of Kandirpar and settled there with his family. Many years later, he moved to Kolkata with his son Sheikh Jan Mahmud, since their wholesale business was based there. Sheikh Jan Mahmud's son, Sheikh Borhanuddin, continued to run that wholesale business and eventually shifted back to East Bengal. He married a girl from the Kazi family of Tungipara and permanently settled there. His son was Sheikh Qudratullah, who in turn had three sons: Sheikh Abdul Majid, Sheikh Abdul Hamid, and Sheikh Abdul Rashid. Sheikh Abdul Hamid was the father of Sheikh Lutfar Rahman and the paternal grandfather of both Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his wife Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib, while Sheikh Abdul Majid was the father of Sheikh Sayera Khatun and the maternal grandfather of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Sheikh Mujib and Begum Mujib's daughter, Sheikh Hasina, married M. A. Wazed in 1968 and adopted his surname, thus introducing the Wazed surname to the Sheikh family.[5]

^Andaleeve Rahman Partho's maternal grandmother, Sheikh Asia Begum, was the sister of his wife’s paternal grandfather Sheikh Abu Naser. Therefore they are second-cousins.
^Muntarin Chowdhury was married to Nixon Chowdhury until her death from falling from her apartment roof in 2014.
Family of Sheikh Amena Begum and Abdur Rab Serniabat
^Ifrah was married to Sheikh Tonmoy until their divorce
^Sheikh Shaira Rahman's paternal grandfather, Sheikh Abu Naser was the brother of Andaleeve Rahman's grandmother Sheikh Asia Begum. Therefore they are second-cousins.
