Tiền Giang is a province in the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam.

The province was formed in February 1976, by the merger of Định Tường and Gò Công provinces.

Tiền Giang has an advantage of being located between two important economic regions – the Southern Key Economic Zone (SKEZ) and the Mekong Delta. The province is a gateway to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) and other eastern provinces as well as those of the Mekong Delta through its system of road, one expressway, four National Roads (1, 30, 50 and 60). The coastline is long with thousands of coastal warp, which is an advantage for aquatic breeding such as crab and sea-based economic development.

Tiền Giang borders Long An province and HCMC to the north, Đồng Tháp province to the west, Bến Tre and Vĩnh Long province to the south, and the East Sea to the east. Mỹ Tho City, acting the leading role of socioeconomic and politic center of Tiền Giang, is the major junction of education, culture and tourism for nearby provinces. The city is away from Ho Chi Minh City to the south and away from Cần Thơ City to the east.
