Hoàng Thị Minh Hồng (born 5 October 1972) is a Vietnamese environmental human rights defender who founded and directed an environmental rights organization. In 2023, she was imprisoned for tax evasion, after a trial which has been criticized by the United Nations, non-governmental organizations, and countries such as the United States as being politically motivated.
Hồng was pardoned and released from prison on Friday, September 20, 2024, nearly 16 months after the arrest.
