Việt Trì is a former city located in the Northeast region of Vietnam. It was the capital city of Phú Thọ Province. In 2010, the city had a population of 260,288. The city covers an area of 110 square kilometres (42 mi2). Việt Trì was also the economic centre of the province and contains many industrial firms and service industries. Culturally, Việt Trì is recognized as the first capital of Vietnam, and is thus widely described as the origin of the Vietnamese nation.
Việt Trì ceased to exist as a municipal city on 1 July 2025, following the elimination of district level units in Vietnam.
Việt Trì is located 70 kilometres (43 mi) northwest of Hanoi in northern Vietnam at "Ngã ba Hạc" (Hạc Junction) on the Red River where the Red River is joined by the Lô River, slightly downstream of where the Black River joins the Red River. Therefore Việt Trì is also known as the City of Confluence.
The city borders the three districts of Lập Thạch, Sông Lô and Vĩnh Tường (Vĩnh Phúc Province) to the east, Lâm Thao District to the west, Ba Vì District (Hanoi) to the south and Phù Ninh District to the north.
The city contains 13 wards: Bạch Hạc, Thanh Miếu, Thọ Sơn, Tiên Cát, Nông Trang, Vân Cơ, Bến Gót, Gia Cẩm, Tân Dân, Dữu Lâu, Minh Nông, Minh Phương and Vân Phú, and 10 communes: Thuỵ Vân, Phượng Lâu, Sông Lô, Trưng Vương, Hy Cương, Chu Hoá, Thanh Đình, Hùng Lô, Kim Đức and Tân Đức.

Many roads are being renovated, boasting upgrades and new construction to standardized inner city roads to always ensure smooth traffic. Transportation of goods across motorways, railways and rivers is also fairly convenient. National routes 2 and 32 are important for transportation from Việt Trì city to other cities and provinces in Vietnam. In 2012, Việt Trì was designated a class 1 provincial city according to Vietnam's "City Classification Criteria".
