Gazipur-4 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024 the constituency is vacant.
The constituency encompasses Kapasia Upazila.
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Dhaka constituency when the former Dhaka District was split into six districts: Manikganj, Munshiganj, Dhaka, Gazipur, Narsingdi, and Narayanganj.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. The 2008 redistricting added a fifth seat to Gazipur District and altered the boundaries of Gazipur-4.
Tanjim Ahmad Sohel Taj submitted a letter of resignation from parliament on 23 April 2012. On procedural grounds it was not accepted, but when he again tendered his resignation on 7 July 2012, the seat was declared vacant. Simeen Hussain Rimi, his sister, was elected in a September 2012 by-election.
