Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu (abbreviated BRVT) was a province of Vietnam. It was located on the coast of the country's Southeast region. It bordered Đồng Nai to the north, Bình Thuận to the northeast and Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area to the southwest. It also included the Côn Đảo islands, located some distance off Vietnam's southeastern coast. From 1954 to 1976, under South Vietnam, the province was called Phước Tuy.
On June 12, 2025, Bà Rịa - Vũng Tàu was incorporated into Ho Chi Minh City.
