I am a Bangladeshi citizen married with my husband who is a British citizen by birth. Currently, we both live in Bangladesh and my husband works at a university. We, are planning to visit UK for about 3 weeks. Just to be clear, we have no intention to settle down in the UK.

Do I need to apply for a visa? If so, then what type of visa should I apply for?

N.B. I've been searching on the internet (including the UK border agency website) for hours now but couldn't get a definite answer.

The UKVI tool says that, as a Bangladeshi citizen visiting the UK for tourism, you need to apply for a Standard Visitor Visa:

When applying for a Standard Visitor Visa you will most probably be asked to provide details of your trip, as well as proof of funds, and proof of strong ties to your country of origin. That is when you will mention that your husband is a UK citizen.
