The urban district (Vietnamese: quận Chữ nôm: (郡)) is the second-level administrative subdivision in Vietnam. Other kinds of second-level administrative subdivision of Vietnam are the rural district ([huyện] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)), the provincial cities ([thành phố trực thuộc tỉnh] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)), and the town ([Thị xã] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)). Urban districts can only subordinate to the centrally-controlled municipalities. The urban district is subdivided into wards ([phường] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)).

Before 1975, in South Vietnam, all second-level administrative subdivisions are called districts ([quận] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)), regardless of urban or rural areas.
