Nazifa Jannat (Bengali: নাজিফা জান্নাত; born c. 1998) is a Bangladeshi student activist and one of the central coordinators of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement (বৈষম্যবিরোধী ছাত্র আন্দোলন) during the 2024 July Revolution (also known as the Students'–People's Uprising). A student of English at East West University in Dhaka, she led protests among private-university students in the Rampura area and played a pivotal role in uniting public and private university participants against the government of Sheikh Hasina. She is the Vice President of the Bangladesh Students' Union and has been vocal on issues of women's political representation, youth expectations from the interim government, and post-uprising democratic reforms. Jannat faced repeated persecution, including imprisonment in 2021, death threats, and police raids during the 2024 uprising. After the fall of the Awami League government on 5 August 2024, she represented private-university students in discussions on forming the interim government and has continued advocating for an inclusive, non-discriminatory Bangladesh.
