The Dhaka Metro Rail (Bengali: ঢাকা মেট্রোরেল), or simply the Dhaka Metro, is a mass rapid transit system serving Dhaka, the capital and largest city of Bangladesh. It is owned and operated by the Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL). Together with the under construction Dhaka BRT, proposed Dhaka Subway and Dhaka suburban circular rail, it is expected to reduce traffic congestion in the city. The metro rail network has five planned lines which are the MRT Line 6, the only operational line, MRT Line 1 and 5, which are under construction, and MRT Line 2 and MRT Line 4, which are in the planning stages. It is part of the Strategic Transport Plan outlined by the Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority (DTCA).
The first section of MRT Line 6 commenced commercial operations on 29 December 2022 and the second section on 5 November 2023. The other lines are either in planning or under construction. The third phase, which will have an interchange with Line 1, Line 2, and Line 4, is set to be completed by 2026. Further expansion of MRT Line 6 is expected towards Savar Upazila and Tongi. Passengers will get a 10% discount on the fare for using the MRT Pass or Rapid Pass. MRT line 6 currently operates daily except Fridays from 7:30 am to 8:00 pm (7:10 am to 8:40 pm for MRT Pass/Rapid Pass holders). Each of the metro trains has a separate coach for women along with common coaches.
To implement Dhaka's 20-year-long Strategic Transport Plan, the Government of Bangladesh invited the Japan International Cooperation Agency to conduct a primary survey and feasibility study on the transport system of Dhaka in 2009–2010. In 2012, the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council approved the project. A loan agreement between the Bangladeshi government and the Japanese International Cooperation Agency was signed in January 2013.

Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited, the agency responsible for the implementation of the first metro line, was formed in January 2013. The General Consultant, namely the NKDM Association, commenced work beginning in February 2014. In June 2013, Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited was established by the government to implement the Metro Rail Lines across the city.
