Da Nang (Vietnamese: Đà Nẵng, pronounced [ɗa˨˩ naŋ˨˩˦ˀ], also written unspaced as Danang), is the fourth largest city in Vietnam by population and the second largest by geographical area and located in the South Central Coast and Central Highlands. As one of the country's nine centrally-governed city, it falls under the administration of the central government. Da Nang's port and its location on National Route 1 and the North–South Railway makes it a transport hub. APEC 2017 was hosted in Da Nang. Da Nang has a Human Development Index of 0.800 (very high), ranking fifth among all municipalities and provinces of Vietnam.

The city was known as Cửa Hàn (Hàn River Estuary) during Đại Việt period when it was a small settlement, and as Tourane (or Turon) during French colonial rule between 1884 and 1945. Before 1997, the city was part of Quang Nam–Da Nang province. On 1 January 1997, Da Nang was separated from Quảng Nam province to become one of the centrally controlled municipalities. Da Nang is designated as a first class city. In a proposal announced in April 2025, which came into force starting 1 July that year, the new Da Nang city was formed by reabsorbing Quảng Nam whilst maintaining its political and administrative centres.
