Shahidullah Hall, Student residence hall at University of Dhaka, Bangladesh

The five-story residential complex includes three large dormitories with a main building and two extended structures for science faculty students.

The hall opened in 1913 as Salimullah Muslim Hall and received its current name in 1969 to honor linguist Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah.

The hall's front pond became a central location for the Bengali Language Movement in 1952, where students gathered to protest language restrictions.

The facility provides accommodation for 1,500 students and includes study rooms, a library, a canteen, and separate housing for teaching staff.

The complex stands on the former Bag-e-Musa Khan area, containing historical structures like Musa Khan's mosque and tomb from medieval Bengal.
