Bhasan Char (Bengali: ভাসান চর), also known as Char Piya, is an island in Hatiya Upazila, Bangladesh. It is located in the Bay of Bengal, 37 miles from the coast. The island was formed with Himalayan silt in 2006. It spans 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi; 4,000 ha).

In December 2017, the Bangladeshi government inaugurated the project that cost of Tk 2,312 crore (more than 275 million US dollar) to relocate one hundred Rohingyas from Cox’s Bazar to Bhashan Char.

There are many possible ways of earning such as fishing, poultry farming, sheep and cattle rearing, cultivation of rice and vegetables, carpentry, handicrafts, tailoring and providing different community services.

The government has also promised to provide higher education facilities.
