Motijheel (Bengali: মতিঝিল) is a central business district and a thana of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

It is Dhaka's primary central business district,[5] and also the nation's largest commercial and financial hub.

It has thus earned the title of the downtown and city centre of Dhaka and as the bankpara-officepara (neighbourhood of banks and offices) in Bengali.

The city's Notre Dame College was relocated to its present campus in Motijheel in 1954; and includes many prestigious alumni.
