Sherpur District, Administrative district in Northern Bangladesh.

Sherpur District spans 1,364 square kilometers of terrain, with flat lands in the south and hills rising toward the northeast near the Indian border.

The region transformed from Gara Jaripara to Sherpur District during the Nawabi period, named after landlord Sher Ali Gazi, before becoming a separate district in 1984.

The district maintains traditional folk music expressions through Bhatiyali, Jarigan, and Sarigan songs, which remain central to local community gatherings.

Five administrative subdivisions make up the district, with Sherpur Sadar serving as the largest upazila at 356 square kilometers.

The 1897 earthquake altered the course of the Brahmaputra River, reshaping the geographical characteristics of the entire district.
