The National Assembly Building of Vietnam (Vietnamese: Tòa nhà Quốc hội Việt Nam), officially the National Assembly House (Nhà Quốc hội)[6] and also known as the New Ba Đình Hall (Hội trường Ba Đình mới), is a public building located on Ba Đình Square across from the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in Hanoi, Vietnam. Construction started on October 12, 2009, and finished on October 20, 2014. The building is used by the National Assembly of Vietnam for its sessions and other official functions.

This building is the largest and most complex office building built in Vietnam after the reunification of the country.[7][8] The Building covers an area of 63,000 square meters, and is 39 meters in height. The building can accommodate 80 separate meetings with more than 2,500 people at the same time.

The old Ba Đình Hall was demolished in 2008 to make room for a new parliament house. However, archaeological remains of the old imperial city of Hanoi, Thăng Long, were found on the site and therefore the construction of a new building was delayed.

The proposed project took 15 years (1999–2014) from the initial concept to the inauguration. The project attracted attention and debates in the country's mass media concerning the construction site and conservation of Ba Đình Hall.[9][7][10][11] The project led to the largest archaeological excavations in Vietnam at the site of Imperial Citadel of Thăng Long.[12] The German architecture design consultant company, gmp International GmbH, was awarded the Vietnam's National Architecture Award by the Vietnam Architect Society in 2014.[13]
