The Nizam-e-Islam Party (Bengali: নেজামে ইসলাম পার্টি, lit. 'Order of Islam Party'), officially the Bangladesh Nizam-e-Islam Party, is an Islamist political party in Bangladesh. The party was founded in the city of Kishoreganj in 1952, by the Islamic scholars of erstwhile East Bengal, Pakistan as an offshoot of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Pakistan. It was one of the four political parties belonging to the United Front alliance which defeated the Muslim League in the 1954 legislative assembly election.
