Begum Badrunnesa Govt. Girls' College (Dhaka Central University Attached: Begum Badrunnesa Govt. Girls' College, Dhaka[1]) informally known as BBGGC is a public educational institution in Dhaka, Bangladesh.[2][3][4] The college was incorporated in 1948 as an intermediate college under Eden Girls' College. In 1962 Eden College gained a second campus at Azimpur, and the older campus at Bakshi Bazar was renamed and later separated from Eden Mohila College, Dhaka.[5] Badrunnesa Girls' College obtained approval to offer honours degrees in 16 subjects in 2004, and has also received approval for running master's degrees in Bangla, English, sociology, history, and home economics.

It was affiliated with the University of Dhaka from February 2017 to January 2025.[6][7]
