Hội An ( Vietnamese: [hôjˀ aːn] ) is a former city of Quảng Nam Province in Central Vietnam. Hội An Old Town has been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999 and is recognized as a well-preserved former site of a once-thriving Southeast Asian trading port dating from the 15th–19th century.
Prior to Vietnam's 2025 administrative reforms, Hội An was a Class-3 provincial city of the former Quảng Nam Province, which was merged into the city of Da Nang, a direct-controlled municipality of Vietnam.
