Sunamganj District, Administrative district in Sylhet Division, Bangladesh.

Sunamganj District stretches across 3669 square kilometers in northeastern Bangladesh, bordered by the Khasia and Jaintia hills of India to the north.

The district emerged from the former Laur Kingdom and gained independence after the Muslim conquest of Sylhet in 1303, becoming an administrative center by 1984.

The district maintains traditional practices through performances of Haljatra, Gormar dance, Dhamail, and Suryabrata songs throughout its 2813 villages.

The territory contains 10 upazilas, 4 municipalities, 82 union councils, and numerous educational facilities, including Sunamganj Science and Technology University.

Tanguar Haor in Tahirpur Upazila represents the largest inland water body for aquaculture, contributing to the district's substantial freshwater fish production.
