Mosharraf Hossain (Bengali: মোশাররফ হোসেন, 7 March 1925 – 3 February 1974) was a politician and lawyer from Jessore District (also spelt Jashore), Bangladesh.[1][2]

He was elected as a Member of the East Pakistan Provincial Assembly of East Pakistan in the 1970 Pakistani provincial elections,[3][4][5] and was a Member of the Constituent Assembly of Bangladesh from April 1971[6] to September 1972.[7] In 1972, he resigned from the Constituent Assembly,[7][8][5] left the ruling party Awami League, and joined Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (abbr. JSD or JASAD or 'জাসদ' - National socialist party) as its founding vice president.[9][10][5]

During the Bangladesh Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971, Pakistan’s military government brought several charges against Mosharraf for his activities against the state.[3] At the very early stage of the war, when the Indian government was hesitant to get involved, he met Indian leaders like Jayaprakash Narayan, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, and Chief Minister of West Bengal, requesting equipment and support.[11]

Mosharraf Hossain took part in the 1973 Bangladeshi general election as a JSD candidate in (now defunct) Jessore 9 constituency but lost to Raushan Ali of Awami League.[12][13] He was assassinated by a gang of unknown armed operatives on 3 February 1974.[14][15][8]
