Daganbhuiyan (Bengali: দাগনভূঁইয়া,)[1] [2] is an upazila (sub-district) of Feni District in the division of Chittagong, Bangladesh. It consists of one municipality and eight union parishads.
During the reign of Mughal prince Shah Shuja, many officers and military leaders are known from historical sources to have settled in the Noakhali and Comilla regions. They were granted 'jagirs' (land grants) here in lieu of salaries or pensions. There is a popular belief that two eminent individuals named Daganbhuyan and Matubhuyan, belonging to a lineage of the Baro-Bhuyan clan of Bengal, had settled in the western part of Feni around this time. The upazila was hence named after the Baro-Bhuyan member.[3]
Daganbhuiyan is located at 22.9375°N 91.3042°W. It has 49,038 households and a total area of 165.84 km2.
