The Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC) is the professional regulatory body that monitors the practice of medicine in Bangladesh. It was formed under the Bangladesh Medical Council Act. This act was made in 1973, hence it is also called 1973 Act of Bangladesh Medical Council. The act of 1973 was repealed in 1980 & Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council Act was passed by the parliament on 9 April 1980.

It is located in the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka in 203, Shaheed Sayed Nazrul Islam Sarani (86, Bijoy Nagar). Its function is to give registration to MBBS & BDS & DMD to practice medicine and dentistry in Bangladesh. It maintains the official register of Medical Practitioner, Dental Practitioner & Medical Assistant Practitioner within Bangladesh. Its chief responsibility is to "protect, promote and maintain the health and safety of the public" by controlling entry to the register, and suspending or removing members when necessary. It also sets the standards for medical colleges in Bangladesh. Unregistered, suspended or removed members are not allowed to practice medicine in Bangladesh.

The Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council is the regulatory authority and the custodian of medical and dental basic and higher education in Bangladesh.
