The Mỹ Thuận Bridge (Vietnamese: Cầu Mỹ Thuận) is a suspension bridge over the Mekong river near Vinh Long in Vietnam. It was developed in a joint venture between the governments of The Commonwealth of Australia and The Socialist Republic of Viet Nam. The bridge was the largest overseas assistance project undertaken by the Australian government costing A$91 million.
