The Vietnamese Ambassador to the United States is the official representative of the Vietnamese government to the government of the United States. The embassy is located at the Lion Building and the ambassador resides in Washington, D.C. at 2251 R Street, Northwest.
From the 1950s to May 23, 1975, the residence of the ambassador hosted the embassy of South Vietnam, when it was closed. It later donated its film reel collection to the Library of Congress.
