Hải Dương (Vietnamese: [ha᷉ːj zɨəŋ]) is a province in the Red River Delta of northern Vietnam. Its name derives from Sino-Vietnamese "ocean", though the modern province is in fact landlocked. Nowadays, Hải Dương is among the most industrialized and developed provinces in Vietnam.

The province is located in the Red River Delta of north-eastern Vietnam, about mid-distance from Hanoi to Hai Phong. Two famous pagodas, Con Son and Kiep Bac, are situated in this province. The province is known for its famous lychees and for the traditional sweet bánh đậu xanh (mung bean paste).
