The MRT Police (Mass Rapid Transit Police) (Bengali: ম্যাস র‍্যাপিড ট্রানজিট পুলিশ) is a specialized law enforcement agency in Bangladesh, responsible for ensuring the security and safety of the metro rail system. It operates as a specialized branch under the Bangladesh Police, focusing on the protection of passengers, infrastructure, and the smooth operation of the Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit (Dhaka Metro Rail) network.

In response to growing security needs, the government of Bangladesh initiated the formation of the MRT Police Unit. Official operations began in 2023, with the unit primarily tasked with securing Dhaka Metro Rail’s Line 6, the country's first metro line.
