Shah Abdul Hamid (Bengali: শাহ আব্দুল হামিদ; 1900 – 1 May 1972) was a Bangladeshi political activist, Awami League politician, legislator and banker.
Shah Abdul Hamid was born in 1900 to Bengali Muslim parents Haji Abdul Ghaffar Shah and Rahima Khatun in the village of Khalshi in Gobindaganj, then part of the Rangpur district of the Bengal Presidency (Now Gaibandha).[2] He completed his Bachelor of Arts from Carmichael College, Rangpur in 1920. During his student life, Abdul Hamid participated in the Non-cooperation movement initiated by Chittaranjan Das. In 1927, he obtained a law degree from the University of Calcutta and began practice at the Court of Gaibandha.[3]
