The Vietnam national football team ( ) is the national football team representing Vietnam and is managed by the Vietnam Football Federation.

While Vietnam was split into North and South Vietnam, two national teams existed and both were controlled by similar Vietnam Football Associations. After the two countries unified in 1976 the VFA was renamed to Vietnam Football Federation. The team has no specific nickname. Fans and media call the team "Đội tuyển túc cầu quốc gia Việt Nam" which was often used in the past, especially in South Vietnam and the word "túc cầu" (football) is still often used today by many Vietnamese outside of Vietnam. Fans and media today normally call the national team "Football team representing Vietnam" (Đội tuyển bóng đá quốc gia Việt Nam) or "Team representing Vietnam" (Đội tuyển Việt Nam) for short. The word "bóng đá" is how Vietnamese say "football" today.

Vietnam is one of the most successful teams in South East Asia along with Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia. Winning the ASEAN Football Championship once and other small competitions and still improving today.
