Quách Thị Trang Square (Vietnamese: Công trường Quách Thị Trang) is the city square in front of the well-known Bến Thành Market in District 1, downtown Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.
It is formed by the junction of some major throughfare, including Trần Hưng Đạo Boulevard, Hàm Nghi Boulevard, Lê Lợi Boulevard, Lê Lai Street, Phạm Ngũ Lão Street (the two latters are run along the September 23rd Park) with some other nearby minor streets of Phó Đức Chính, Huỳnh Thúc Kháng, Phan Bội Châu and Phan Chu Trinh (the two latters are run along the East and West gate of Bến Thành Market, respectively).
