Subarnachar (Bengali: সুবর্ণচর, romanized: Shubornochor) is an upazila (sub-district) of the Noakhali District, located in Bangladesh's Chittagong Division.

A number of Subarnachar residents have migrated to Oman where they form a small diaspora community.

The history of this upazila has been written through the relentless struggle of the working people who have made this salty char habitable through their creative activities.

Subarnachar had a literacy rate (age 7 and over) of 32.66%, compared to the national average of 51.8%, and a sex ratio of 1017 females per 1000 males.
