2025 National Board of Revenue strike refers to a sporadic nationwide protest and work stoppage by officials of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) in Bangladesh, which took place in May and June 2025, leading to the stoppage of revenue collection and all trade at international ports.

Following the end of the strike, the Government began a clampdown on protest leaders, forcing several senior officials into retirement and launching corruption investigations.
