Dragon House (Vietnamese: Bến Nhà Rồng) or Dragon House Wharf, Dragon House Harbour, officially known as Ho Chi Minh Museum, Ho Chi Minh City Branch, was the original commercial port of Saigon. The construction began in 1862 and more than a year later, in 1863, the house was completed. It is located at the junction of the Saigon River and Bến Nghé Channel in District 4.

On 5 June 1911, Ho Chi Minh (at the time named Nguyen Tat Thanh) departed from the Dragon House on the French ship Amiral de Latouche-Tréville for a 30-year journey around the world. Therefore, in 1979, the old headquarters building of the commercial port has been rebuilt into a memorial park in Ho Chi Minh City.

During the Vietnam War the building was used by the United States Military Sea Transportation Service.[1]
