Little Saigon is a predominantly Vietnamese American neighborhood in Orange County, California. The term also refers to the commercial district for Vietnamese and other Asian businesses in the region. The Associated Press and historian Phuong Nguyen consider it "the cultural capital for the Vietnamese diaspora".

The business district is primarily located in Westminster and Garden Grove, while the broader Vietnamese population it serves also resides in nearby cities such as Fountain Valley and Santa Ana. Little Saigon contains the largest concentration of Vietnamese outside of Vietnam.

After the fall of Saigon, various Vietnamese refugees from South Vietnam, including Vietnamese boat people, resettled in Orange County. The area consists of various Vietnamese small businesses, strip malls, and shopping centers. The region is known for its strong ties to the Vietnamese American community and its preservation of Vietnamese culture.
