Hoa Nguyen (born 1967) is an American poet.
Born in Vĩnh Long, near Saigon, in 1967, Hoa Nguyen grew up in the Washington D.C. area and studied poetry at New College of California in San Francisco. She now lives in Austin, Texas where she leads the Teachers & Writers Collaborative's Virtual Poetry Workshop.
She co-edits Skanky Possum, a book imprint and journal, with her husband Dale Smith, and curates a monthly reading series in Austin.
