The High Commission of Bangladesh in Maldives (মালদ্বীপে বাংলাদেশ হাইকমিশন, ހައި ކޮމިޝަން އޮފް ބަންގްލަދޭޝް އިން މޯލްޑިވްސް) is a high commission office established by Bangladesh in Malé, the capital of the Maldives.

History
Relations between Bangladesh and the Maldives were established on September 22, 1978.

For nearly 20 years after the establishment of diplomatic relations, no High Commissioner or Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary was stationed there, but on 8 August 1998, the High Commissioner's Office was opened in Malé, and Major General Harun Ahmed Chowdhury was stationed there. He was appointed as the first High Commissioner.

The mission was the Embassy of Bangladesh in the Maldives (মালদ্বীপে বাংলাদেশ দূতাবাস) from October 2016, when the Maldives left the Commonwealth, until February 2020.

On 1 February 2020, when the Maldives returned to its status as a Commonwealth republic, this overseas mission reverted to the Bangladesh High Commission.

In July 2021, the High Commission changed locations from Malé to Hulhumalé (both administratively belong to Malé).

Address
Plot 10982, Street 16, Nirolhu Magu, Hulhumalé
