Ramgati (Bengali: রামগতি, romanized: Ramgôti) is an upazila (sub-district) of Lakshmipur District in Bangladesh, part of the Chattogram Division.

The origin of Ramgati is said to have been from a man named Ramkrishna who had a large mercantile centre in the area known as a gôdi in the Bengali language.
