List of cities in Vietnam

In Vietnam, cities (Vietnamese: thành phố) are a type of administrative division. Since the 2025 reforms to local government, cities only exist as first-level administrative divisions, equivalent to a province and fully designated as the centrally-governed cities (Vietnamese: thành phố trực thuộc trung ương, lit.'city directly subordinate to the centre (central government)'). City status requires a resolution of the National Assembly of Vietnam. As with provinces, they are divided into urban wards, rural communes, and, where appropriate, island special zones.

Prior to 2025, cities also existed at the district level, and may be subject to the administration of a province or of a centrally-governed city.
