Dương Văn Dương (1900-February 20, 1946) was a Vietnamese military leader of Binh Xuyen. His nickname was Ba Dương (three oceans). He was born in Ben Tre Province but raised in Saigon. When the Empire of Japan invaded Vietnam in 1940, he organized a dare-to-die group of youth to organize resistance to their occupation. When the Japanese surrendered in 1945, he cooperated with the Viet Minh against the Anglo-French reoccupation of the country. He was killed in action. In modern Vietnam, he was made an honorary member of the People's Army of Vietnam with the rank of major general. Duong is honored with several places named after him in Ho Chi Minh City.
