'''Noakhali Sadar''' ({{lang-bn|নোয়াখালি সদর}}) is an [[upazila]] of [[Noakhali District]] in the Division of [[Chittagong Division|Chittagong]], [[Bangladesh]]. Noakhali Thana was established in 1861 and was converted into an upazila in 1984.<ref name=Banglapedia/> The upazila takes its name from the district and the Bengali word ''sadar'' (headquarters). It is the subdistrict where the district headquarters, Noakhali town, is located. The town is situated on the western bank of the Noakhali Canal, from which it takes its name.<ref>{{cite book |last=Webster |first=John Edward |date=1911 |title=Noakhali |series=Eastern Bengal and Assam District Gazetteers |location=Allahabad, India |publisher=Pioneer Press |page=1|hdl=2027/uc2.ark:/13960/t1td9z39b }}</ref> The Noakhali Canal was dug in 1660 to control flooding of the river Dakatia.
