Gò Vấp [ɣɔ˨˩:jəp˧˥] is an urban district of Ho Chi Minh City.

[1] Gò Vấp is an urban district located in the north and northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

In July 1976, two wards (Bình Hòa and Thạnh Mỹ Tây) splitted from Gò Vấp District to create the new Bình Thạnh district.

Later, the communes of Bình Mỹ joined Củ Chi district, and Nhị Bình, Tân Thới Hiệp, Thạnh Lộc and An Phú Đông joined Hóc Môn district (the two latter were splitted to create the District 12).

Historically, Gò Vấp was part of Gia Định province until 1976, when the province was annexed to the city of Saigon and renamed into Ho Chi Minh City.
