Cox's Bazar is a town, a fishing port and district headquarters in Bangladesh. It is known for its wide sandy beach which is the world's longest natural sandy sea beach.

Cox's Bazar is also known by the name 'Panowa', the literal translation of which means 'yellow flower'. Its other old name was 'Palongkee'.

A premature death took Captain Cox in 1799 before he could finish his work. But the work he had done earned him a place in the hearts of the locals and to commemorate his role in rehabilitation work a market was established and named after him as Cox's Bazaar ('Cox's Market').
