Hội An (Vietnamese: [hoi˨˩ˀ an˧] ) 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. Along with the Cù Lao Chàm archipelago, it is part of the Cù Lao Chàm-Hội An Biosphere Reserve, designated in 2009. In 2023, Hội An was registered in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network list. The town's buildings and street plan reflect a blend of indigenous Vietnamese and foreign influences. Prominent in Hội An's old town is the "Japanese Bridge" dating to the 16th–17th century.
