Bihari Muslims are the Urdu speaking Muslims from the Indian state of Bihar who moved to East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) at the time of partition of India.

There are about 300,000 of them presently in Bangladesh, living in refugee camps in Dhaka. They supported Pakistan during the Bangladesh Liberation War. They face discrimination in Bengali speaking Bangladesh. They wish to move to Pakistan; however Pakistan is unwilling to accept them. A large number of them have settled in Karachi during the past two decades.
