Đỗ Thị Ngân Thương (born March 10, 1989 in Hanoi) is a Vietnamese artistic gymnast. Thương is the 2005 Southeast Asian Games and 2007 Southeast Asian Games champion on the balance beam and 2007 bronze medalist on the floor exercise. Thương competed at the 2007 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, where she did not reach any event final.

Thương participated in the 2008 Summer Olympics, where she became the first gymnast to represent Vietnam in Olympic competition. She competed only in the preliminary round of competition, where among 82 gymnasts, she placed 15th on vault, 51st on balance beam, 79th on uneven bars, 82nd on floor exercise and 59th overall, and did not qualify for the all-around or individual event finals.

On August 15, 2008, the International Olympic Committee announced that Thương had tested positive for the banned substance furosemide. IOC medical commission chairman Arne Ljungqvist stated that Thương’s use of furosemide was likely to be accidental, and the result of receiving poor information on doping restrictions. Nonetheless, she was expelled from the Olympic Games and her athlete accreditation was revoked. In 2012, she competed in the 2012 London Olympic Games and did not advance to any finals.
