Human rights in Vietnam (Vietnamese: Nhân quyền tại Việt Nam) have long been a matter of much controversy between the Government of Vietnam and some international human rights organizations and Western governments, particularly that of the United States.

Since 1994, Vietnam Human Rights Day is celebrated each year on 11 May. "The 11th day of May of each year shall be designated and recognized as Vietnam Human Rights Day in support of efforts by the Non-Violent Movement for Human Rights in Vietnam to achieve freedom and human rights for the people of Vietnam", - 2009, c. 489 (§ 2.2-3310.3).
