A commune () is a type of third tier subdivision of Vietnam. It is divided into 11,162 units along with wards and townships, which have an equal status. Communes have a lower status than provincial cities, towns or districts. This subdivision has existed since 1428, when Emperor Lê Thái Tổ re-organised the country into five administrative levels.
