Saddam Hussain (Bengali: সাদ্দাম হোসেন) is a Bangladeshi political student activist who served as the president of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), the student wing of the Bangladesh Awami League. He previously held the position of general secretary of the BCL’s University of Dhaka unit. In 2019, he was elected assistant general secretary of the Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU), and became a member of the University of Dhaka Senate in the same year.

Hussain reportedly left Bangladesh and is presently residing in Kolkata, India following the resignation of Sheikh Hasina as the prime minister of the country. He has since been convicted in several cases including crimes against humanity, and corruption by the interim government.
