Mehidy Hasan Miraz (Bengali: মেহেদী হাসান মিরাজ; born 25 October 1997) is a Bangladeshi international cricketer who plays for the Bangladesh national team. He is a bowling all-rounder, a right-handed batter and a right-arm off break bowler. Currently, he is the Captain of the Bangladesh national cricket team in the ODI format.

Miraz was born at Khalispur Thana under Khulna district and grew up in Khalishpur of Khulna city. He started playing cricket when he was 8. He went to Kashipur Cricket Academy from where he was first selected for the Under-14 national cricket tournament. Miraz was discovered by Sheikh Salahuddin and learned offspin from him.

On 15 March 2019, along with several members of the Bangladesh test team, Miraz was moments from entering the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand when a terrorist attack began. All members of the team were "deeply affected".

Miraz decided to marry his long-time fiancée Rabeya Akhter Priti on 21 March 2019 to overcome “the shock” of the Christchurch terror attack the previous week.

In December 2015, Miraz was named as the captain of Bangladesh's squad for the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. Despite playing as an opener in majority of his tenure in the Under-19, Under-17 and other domestic tournaments, Miraz played primarily as a lower-middle order bowling all-rounder in the tournament. He managed to take his team into the semi-final where they lost to the West Indies. In the third place play-off, Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka by three wickets. On 11 February 2016, he was awarded 'Player of the Tournament', becoming the only Bangladeshi player to achieve this honor in an ICC Event. He scored 242 runs and took 12 wickets in 6 matches.

On 16 February 2015, Miraz made his first-class debut for Khulna against Rajshahi, where he made 51 runs and took four wickets.

He made his T20 debut on 9 November 2016 playing for Rajshahi Kings in the BPL 8.

In October 2018, Miraz was named in the squad for the Rajshahi Kings team, following the draft for the 2018–19 Bangladesh Premier League. In November 2019, he was selected to play for the Khulna Tigers in the 2019–20 Bangladesh Premier League.
