Bashirul Haq (24 June 1942 – 4 April 2020) was a Bangladeshi architect, town planner and visiting professor of MIT.

He was regarded as one of the most influential architects in South Asia in terms of environmentally and socially responsive design.

His father was a deputy collector from the Sylhet district and for that reason, Haq spent the majority of his childhood there.

However, another Bangladeshi-American engineer, Fazlur Rahman Khan, discouraged him from returning to Bangladesh citing a newly independent war devastated nation.
