Shariatpur Sadar (Bengali: শরিয়তপুর সদর) is an upazila of Shariatpur District in the Division of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Shariatpur Thana was converted into an upazila in 1984.[5] The upazila took its name from the district and the Bengali word sadar (headquarters). It is the subdistrict where the district headquarters, Shariatpur town, is located.

A huge number of Bangladeshi populations in Italy comes from the Shariatpur district.
