Ho Chi Minh City Hall, officially called the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council and People's Committee Head Office (Vietnamese: Trụ sở Hội đồng Nhân dân và Ủy ban Nhân dân Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh), is a city hall and the seat of the government of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It is located in downtown Ho Chi Minh City's Saigon ward, between Pasteur, Lý Tự Trọng, Đồng Khởi, and Lê Thánh Tôn Street, with its front facade facing Nguyễn Huệ Boulevard. The building houses the office of the city's Chairman of the People's Committee, People's Council and various other government departments, such as Transportation, Natural Resources & Environment, Industry & Trade and Home Affairs.
Ho Chi Minh City Hall served as an administrative house for past governments during the French colonial period of Vietnam and Vietnam War. The building now also serves as one of Vietnam's national heritage sites and is open for public at the last weekend of each month.
