Amar Bangladesh Party, a.k.a AB Party is a political party of Bangladesh. It was created on 2020 May 3 by the reformist leaders and activists of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami under the leadership of former bureaucrat AFM Solaiman Chowdhury as convener, and former Islami Chhatra Shibir president Mujibur Rahman Manju as member secretary.[1]

Both chief leaders of the AB Party were members of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh's central policymaking body, the Majlis-e-Shura. Jamaat expelled Mujibur Rahman for his opinions over the party's role in the Liberation War of 1971 and his demands for reforms within the party, while Solaiman Chowdhury left the party over differences of opinion on Jamaat's reformation.[1]

On 2021 February 9, 25 leaders from Jamaat-e-Islami and its sister concerns joined this political party.[2]
