This is a list of the symbols of the provinces and territories of Vietnam. Each province and territory has a unique set of official emblems.
As of the last time this list was revised:
- Provinces that have adopted new emblems after the 2025 provincial-level administrative unit mergers:
1. Dak Lak
- Provinces that do not yet have official emblems: ( * indicates unofficial emblems )
1. Lam Dong
2. Quang Ninh*
The remaining provinces are either still using their old pre-merger logos or have been dissolved.
Present
