Gia Định (嘉定) was a province of South Vietnam surrounding Sài Gòn. It was one of the country's main industrial centers.

Gia Định was created in 1832 and split to four smaller provinces in December 1889: Gia Định, Chợ Lớn, Tân An and Tây Ninh.

In 1957 Gia Định contained 6 districts, Gò Vấp, Tân Bình, Hóc Môn, Thủ Đức, Nhà Bè and Bình Chánh.

In 1970, the districts of Quảng Xuyên and Cần Giờ were added.In February 1976, parts of the provinces of Biên Hòa, Bình Dương, Đô Thành Sài Gòn and Hậu Nghĩa were annexed to Gia Định and it was renamed to Sài Gòn-Gia Định. After the capture of Saigon on 30 April 1975, the province of Gia Định (initially without the estuary) and other areas of neighboring provinces (in particular the district of Củ Chi) were united with the city of Saigon in May. The city of Saigon-Gia Định (thành phố Sài Gòn – Gia Định) was created. This in turn was renamed Ho Chi Minh City (thành phố Hồ Chí Minh) on 2 July 1976.Former governors of the province include Nguyễn Văn Thành.
