Faridpur is a district in central Bangladesh. It is a part of the Dhaka Division.
The district is named after the Sufi saint Shah Sheikh Fariduddin, who preached there. In the 19th century, Hazi Shariatullah started the Farazi movement against the British rulers from this district. The movement against the British enforcement of Indigo cultivation was also initiated from Faridpur under the leadership of Dudu Miah.
