Bắc Giang () is a former provincial city in the former Bắc Giang province of Vietnam. Its name, deriving from that of the Province Sino-Vietnamese, means "north of the river." The location is very convenient for transportation: it is 50 km north of Hanoi, in the middle position on major transportation routes (roads, international railway) connecting Hanoi with the Lạng Sơn City and Đồng Đăng international border gate; Bắc Giang is located in an important transportation hub. The Thương river runs through the town's southern part heading for Haiphong.

Although the name of Bắc Giang Province is very old, established in its first form in 1466, there was historically no town of that name. The town was created out of the old Láng Thượng District after independence. The Suối Mỡ thermal springs area is 37 km from the town centre. Bắc Giang Peace Park was a sister city project with Madison, Wisconsin, United States.
