Legislative elections were held in Vietnam on 23 May 2021 to elect members of the National Assembly, which would subsequently appoint the Prime Minister, and deputies of People's Councils.^[1] The election took place on a Sunday in line with local legislation. Results were announced on 10 June.

The Communist Party of Vietnam rules Vietnam as a one-party state and as such is the only party that can contest the elections. In the 2016 elections the party won 475 of the 496 seats, with the rest going to independent members of the government-aligned Vietnamese Fatherland Front.

The members of the National Assembly were elected from 184 multi-member constituencies using the two-round system, with a maximum number of 500 candidates to be elected. Block voting was used, with each district having two or three seats.^[2] Candidates had to receive at least 50% of the vote in the first round to be elected, with a second round held on a plurality basis.^[3]

One seat in Bình Dương Province was left vacant after the National Election Council did not confirm the winning candidate was eligible to enter parliament.^[4]
