The Bom, Bawm or Bawmzo (Bengali: বম), are an ethnic community inhabiting the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh.

The Bawm are victims in the Chittagong Hill Tracts conflict, especially in the continuation of it.

Bawms are targeted by the Bangla Desh army as well as by the Kuki-Chin National Front,[3] The origin of Bawm is traced to the founding of a village called Tiphul in Chin State[4][unreliable source?]

Bawm people were among the earlier settlers in the Lushai Hills, along with Tlanglau, Khiang and Chawrai.

Though the reason of migration from the Chin Hills to Bangladesh is unknown, the Bawm and other groups of people could have left Myanmar due to pressure from stronger tribal forces.
