Morgan, who has a previous ODI hundred for Ireland, kept his cool as wickets fell around him in the closing overs. The tourists slipped from 198 for four to 229 for eight, still requiring 32 for victory in 4.2 overs.
Morgan, partnered by debutant James Tredwell, took advantage of the batting powerplay to steer England home with two wickets and seven balls remaining.
Captain Alastair Cook earlier helped his side recover from the loss of early wickets with an assured 60. However, spinners Abdur Razzak and Shakib claimed three wickets apiece to bring Bangladesh right back into the game.
Earlier, Opener Imrul Kayes and Mushfiqur Rahim, who struck 63 and 76 respectively, combined for a 90-run alliance as the hosts made a respectable 260/6 in their 50 overs.
