Magura District, Administrative district in Khulna Division, Bangladesh

Magura District spans 1,039 square kilometers across southwestern Bangladesh, featuring flat plains intersected by the Gorai, Madhumati, and Nabaganga rivers.

The district played a role in the 1859 Indigo uprising, with historical evidence visible through remaining Neelkuthi structures at Hajrapur, Boroi, and Amtail Nahati.

The district maintains traditional Bengali performing arts through regular presentations of Jarigan, Sarigan, and Jatra shows at local cultural centers.

Four administrative subdivisions structure the district: Magura Sadar, Mohammadpur, Shalikha, and Sreepur, containing 36 union councils and 700 villages.

Magura District is the birthplace of cricket star Shakib Al Hasan and houses the historical Ghat of Nader Chand and tomb of Pir Mokerram Ali.
