Dhaka-20 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2026 by Md Tamiz Uddin of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
Boundaries The constituency encompasses Dhamrai Upazila.
History The constituency was created when, ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. At the previous general election, in 2001, Dhamrai Upazila corresponded to constituency Dhaka-13. The 2008 redistricting added 7 new seats to Dhaka District, increasing the number of constituencies in the district from 13 to 20. One of the new seats usurped the name Dhaka-13, and the former constituency of that name became Dhaka-20.
