Nasir Hossain (born 30 November 1991) is a Bangladeshi cricketer. An all-rounder, Hossain made his One Day International (ODI) debut in August 2011 against Zimbabwe; two months later he made his Test debut against the West Indies. At domestic level he has represented Barisal Division, Chittagong Division, Rajshahi Division and Rangpur Division. He grew up in Bogra, Bangladesh. For his extraordinary fielding ability he is called The Wall of Bangladesh

Nasir Hossain was a part of the 13-man Bangladesh squad that played in the 2010 Asian Games in late November. The team played Afghanistan in the final and won by five wickets, gaining the country's first gold medal at the Asian Games.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) launched the six-team Bangladesh Premier League in 2012, a twenty20 tournament to be held in February that year. An auction was held for teams to buy players, and Hossain was bought by the Khulna Royal Bengal for $200,000, the highest price paid for a Bangladeshi player. In April the BCB awarded Hossain a central contract for the first time.

He made his ODI debut on 14 August 2011 against Zimbabwe. Coming in with Bangladesh's score at 58 for 6, the 19-year-old Hossain top-scored for his side with 63 runs from 92 balls, lifting the score to 188. It was not enough, and Zimbabwe won by seven wickets. In the final game of the five-match series, Hossain accidentally injured Zimbabwe fast bowler Keegan Meth. Hossain drove a delivery from Meth straight back and the bowler was unable to get out of the way. He was struck in the mouth, knocking out three teeth.
