The Ho Chi Minh City Metro (HCMC Metro, Vietnamese: Đường sắt đô thị Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, lit.'urban railway of the city of Ho Chi Minh') is a planned rapid transit system that will serve Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

Its first metro line, Line 1, started construction in 2012 and is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2024, after multiple delays, with operations starting the same year.[2] As of 2021, most of the network is in the planning stages, with projects for different lines advancing as funds become available.[3] A second line, Line 2, began construction in 2024.[4]
