Lái Thiêu (Vietnamese: ) is a ward of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It is one of the 168 new wards, communes and special zones of the city following the reorganization in 2025.
Lái Thiêu is widely known for its ceramics and fruits.
By the end of the 19th century, Lái Thiêu had been a populous settlement of Thá»§ Dầu Má»Ât province, French Cochinchina. In 1936, the government established the Lái Thiêu district with Lái Thiêu being the district capital. By 1975, Lái Thiêu district was subdivided into 11 communes: Tân Thá»Âi, Phú Long, Vénh Phú, Bình Nhâm, Bình Hòa, Hðng ÃÂá»Ânh, An Thạnh (Búng), An Sán, Bình Chuẩn, ThuáºÂn Giao and An Phú.
In 1975, Thá»§ Dầu Má»Ât province was merged with Bình Phðá»Âc province to establish Sông Bé province. Then in 1977, Lái Thiêu district also merged with Dé An district to establish ThuáºÂn An district. The new name ThuáºÂn An was given to tribute the ThuáºÂn An Hòa War Zone (whose name was the combination of ThuáºÂn Giao, An Phú and Bình Hòa). Thus, the name Lái Thiêu was no longer used until 1994, when it was given to the township () established from parts of Tân Thá»Âi, Phú Long, Bình Nhâm and Bình Hòa communes. Lái Thiêu township since became the capital of ThuáºÂn An district. In 2011, when ThuáºÂn An town was established, Lái Thiêu township became Lái Thiêu ward.
On June 16, 2025, the National Assembly Standing Committee issued Resolution No. 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15 on the arrangement of commune-level administrative units of Ho Chi Minh City in 2025 (effective from June 16, 2025). Accordingly, the entire land area and population of Bình Nhâm, Lái Thiêu wards and part of Vénh Phú ward of the former ThuáºÂn An city will be integrated into a new ward named Lái Thiêu (Clause 84, Article 1).
