Liton Das (Bengali: লিটন দাস) (born 13 October 1994) is a Bangladeshi cricketer. He is a right-handed opening batsman and wicket-keeper.

He played for Bangladesh at the Under-19 World Cups in 2012 and 2014. Playing for Rangpur Division in the 2014-15 National Cricket League, he scored five centuries and finished the seven-match season with 1,024 runs at an average of 85.33. Rangpur Division won the championship.

In January 2017, he scored his maiden double-century in first-class cricket, playing for East Zone in the 2016–17 Bangladesh Cricket League. As a result of this, he was recalled to Bangladesh's Test squad for their one-off match against India in February 2017.

Liton made his Test debut against India on 10 June 2015. He made his One Day International debut, also against India, on 18 June 2015. He made his Twenty20 International debut against South Africa on 5 July 2015.

On 2 March 2017, Bangladesh's captain Mushfiqur Rahim was asked to play as a batsman only, with Das becoming the wicket-keeper for the Test series against Sri Lanka. With that, Das will be the wicket-keeper in Test side from this test onwards.
