The National Library of Vietnam (; ) is the national library in Vietnam and it is located in Hanoi. It was established by a decree of 29 November 1917 as the central library of Indochina. In September 1919 the library was made open to the public with an intent to support and promote western archive and library work.

It took the successive names of Pierre Pasquier (28 February 1935), Bibliothèque Nationale (National Library, 20 October 1945), Bibliothèque Centrale de Hanoï (Central Library of Hanoi, February 1947) before being given its present name at 21 November 1958.

Website and digital collections

The library website is available in Vietnamese, English and French. It provides the latest news concerning the library and gives details about recent library events and activities. In addition, the website includes information about professional development, publications, and librarianship in Vietnam. The website also provides information about digital collections. These collections include:

  • Doctoral theses, which holds over 30,000 abstracts and full texts by Vietnamese people.
