Hải Châu was an urban district (quận) of Da Nang in the South Central Coast region of Vietnam. Since districts were abolished in 2025, it ceased to exist. Its northern wards were rearranged into Hải Châu ward, while the southern wards were rearranged into Hòa Cường ward.
It was the administrative, cultural and commercial center of the city. The municipal hall, theater and central market are located in what used to be Hải Châu district. Da Nang International Airport is also located on the boundary of Hải Châu district and just about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) away from the district's center.
Hải Châu district and Khuê Trung Ward of Cẩm Lệ District, which was separated from Hải Châu district to form Cẩm Lệ district in 2005, was called District I (Quận Nhứt) in the Republic of Vietnam period.
