The Sangharaja Nikaya or Saṅgharāja Nikāya is a tradition of Theravada Buddhism, located in Bangladesh.
The word Nikaya is Pali and literally means "volume". It refers to the sections of the Tipitaka. However, an alternate usage is practiced in Southeast Asia, in which the word "Nikaya" is a respectful term for a monastic community.
The community consists largely of rural Bengali Buddhists. It was formed in 1864 by Sangharaja Saramedha Mahasthavira.
