The Adviser to the Prime Minister of Bangladesh (বাংলাদেশের প্রধানমন্ত্রীর উপদেষ্টা) is a senior advisory position within the Government of Bangladesh. Appointed directly by the Prime Minister, these advisers provide specialized counsel on policy matters, oversee specific ministries or departments, and hold ranks equivalent to cabinet ministers or state ministers. The role allows the Prime Minister to incorporate expertise from outside the elected parliament into the executive branch, enhancing governance in key areas such as economics, security, and international relations. This position is distinct from the advisers in caretaker governments, which are temporary and non-partisan.
