Tuổi Trẻ (Youth) is a major daily newspaper in Vietnam, publishing from Hồ Chí Minh City. Originally a publication of the Hồ Chí Minh Communist Youth Organization of Hồ Chí Minh City, it had grown to become the largest newspaper in the country with a daily circulation of 450,000.

Described as “pro-reformist” by the BBC, the newspaper had run into trouble with the communist authorities several times, including when it commissioned a survey among Hồ Chí Minh City youths that found out that Bill Gates is more admired than Hồ Chí Minh. This resulted in the published copies being destroyed by state censors and the three editors harshly sanctioned.
