Badarganj (Bengali: বদরগঞ্জ) is an Upazila of Rangpur District in the Division of Rangpur, Bangladesh.
Badarganj is named after the mystic-saint Hazrat Badaruddin Shah.[4] His tomb is situated in the middle of the town. After the conquests of Bengal, Turk Commander Ikhtiyar Uddin Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khilji stopped over at a field at Mansinghapur, Madai Khamar during his invasion of Tibet in 1203 AD to feed his horses.[4] After that event, the field was named 'Bakhtiyar Danga'.
