Regions of Vietnam.

Central Vietnam (Vietnamese: Trung Bộ or miền Trung), also known as Middle Vietnam or The Middle, formerly known as Trung Phần by South Vietnam, Trung Kỳ and Annam under French Indochina, is one of the three geographical regions within Vietnam.

The name Trung Bộ was used by the emperor Bảo Đại when he established administrative level higher than Province in 1945, instead of the Trung Kỳ which recalled the French occupation. This name was officially used by government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and is popularly used today.

The two south central costal provinces Ninh Thuận and Bình Thuận are sometimes seen as part of the Southeast region.
