The Municipal Theatre of Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnamese: Nhà hát Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, French: Théâtre municipal de Saïgon), also known as Saigon Opera House, is an opera house in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It is an example of French Colonial architecture in Vietnam.

Designed by French architects as the Opéra de Saïgon, the building was completed in 1900. The 500-seat building served as the house of the unicameral National Assembly from 1956 until 1967 and subsequently as the seat of bicameral chambers: Lower House (Hạ Nghị Viện) and a Senate or Upper House (Thượng Nghị Viện) of the National Assembly of South Vietnam. It housed the People's Congress of Deputies (Đại hội đại biểu Nhân dân) of the Republic of South Vietnam in 1975. It was not until 1976 that it was again used as a theatre. The façade was restored in 1998.
