The Family Card (Bengali: ফ্যামিলি কার্ড) is a digital social safety net program introduced by the Ministry of Social Welfare of the Government of Bangladesh. The program aims to bring poor and low-income families under a single unified database to provide direct financial and food assistance.

On 10 March 2026, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman officially inaugurated the program at the T&T field adjacent to the Korail slum in Dhaka. This initiative was a primary commitment in the election manifesto of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
