Vũ Đức Đam (born 3 February 1963) is a Vietnamese politician who served as one of the Deputy Prime Ministers of Vietnam from 2013 until his sacking in 2023. A long-time assistant to the economic reformer Võ Văn Kiệt, Đam previously served as Chairman of the People's Committee (Governor) of Quảng Ninh province and as Minister of the Government Office prior to being appointed deputy prime minister, where he was in charge of the Science and Technology, Information and Communication, Tourism and Sports portfolio.[1] He was also the Chairman of the National Committee for AIDS and the Prevention of Drug Addiction and Prostitution.

Born in Hải Dương Province, he was educated at the Vietnam National Academy of Public Administration. Đam was considered to be one of the promising members of the Vietnamese government.[2][3]

On 30 December 2022, he was voted out of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Đam stepped down from his position as deputy prime minister on 5 January 2023 after the National Assembly selected a successor.[3][4] His dismissal came after the November 2022 arrest of Nguyễn Văn Trịnh, who was then Đam's ministerial assistant, for his role in the Việt Á scandal involving overpricing and bribery of COVID-19 test kit worth $172 million.[5][6]
