ANM Faizul Mahi, (; 1939–1971) born in the district of Feni, was a Bangladeshi educationist.


Education and career

Mahi joined the Institute of Education and Research in 1968 after obtaining Ed.D. (doctorate in education) and soon became senior lecturer. He was known to his friends as a progressive personality. He was not vocal compared to many of his colleagues in the university but very much dedicated to the cause of 1971 Bangladesh liberation war that was going on from March to December, helping the freedom fighters from within keeping a low profile, a very difficult job indeed. But he could not keep secret his real identity from the watchful eyes of the collaborators some of whom happened to be his colleagues within IER.
