Delta Mekong

**Delta Mekong** (, "delta sungai Sembilan Naga" atau , "**Delta Sungai Mekong**"), juga dikenali sebagai **Kawasan Barat** () atau **Kawasan barat daya** () ialah kawasan di barat daya Vietnam di mana Sungai Mekong menghampiri dan mengosongkan ke dalam laut melalui rangkaian alur delta.  Kawasan delta Mekong mengelilingi sebahagian besar barat daya Vietnam melebihi . Saiz kawasan diliputi air bergantung pada musimnya. Sebelum tahun 1975, Delta Mekong sebahagian Republik Vietnam. Delta Mekong ialah tempat bagi kawasan IV Corps semasa Perang Vietnam. IV Corps satu-satunya kor di Vietnam Selatan yang VC tidak serang nyata sekali sehingga Presiden terakhir Duong Van Minh mengaku kalah kepada Vietnam Utara.
