Mohammad Aminul Islam (Bengali: মোহাম্মদ আমিনুল ইসলাম; born 2 February 1968) is a former Bangladeshi cricketer and captain.

Aminul Islam scored the first hundred for the Bangladesh cricket team when Bangladesh played their first Test against India, thus becoming only the third cricketer after Charles Bannerman and Dave Houghton to score centuries on their own and their country's test debut. He was one of Bangladesh's most celebrated cricketers in the pre-Test-status era.
