The Sheikh–Wazed family (Bengali: শেখ–ওয়াজেদ পরিবার) is a prominent Bangladeshi political dynasty, which primarily consisted of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Sheikh Hasina and her descendants. Their political involvement has traditionally revolved around the Bangladesh Awami League.
The Wazed surname came from M. A. Wazed. Sheikh Hasina (the daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman) married M. A. Wazed in 1968 and adopted his surname.
