Võ Văn Thưởng (born 13 December 1970) is a Vietnamese politician. He has been the President of Vietnam from 2023 until 2024. He was the youngest person to serve in this position since the government's founding in 1945.

Between 1988 and 1992, he studied Marxist-Leninism at the University of Ho Chi Minh City, where he graduated with a Bachelor's degree. In 1999, he received a Master of Philosophy from Ho Chi Minh City University of Social Sciences and Humanities.

He resigned after just over a year in office amid the Communist Party's anti-corruption campaign, making him the shortest-serving president in Vietnamese history.
