My-Van Tran AM (Vietnamese: Trần Mỹ Vân) is a Vietnamese-Australian author and academic. Tran was born in South Vietnam, and she and her family were forced to leave the country when the North Vietnamese Army defeated the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), during the Fall of Saigon.[1]

She has authored several books concerning Vietnamese history, A Vietnamese Royal Exile in Japan: Prince Cuong De (1882–1951), A Vietnamese Scholar in Anguish, The Long Journey, Australia's First Boat People and A report on the settlement of Indo-Chinese refugees in Darwin, the Northern Territory.
In the 1986 Australia Day Honours Tran was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for "service to Asian-Australian relations"[4] and in 2002 she was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for "service to the Vietnamese community, and to the promotion of multiculturalism and Asian studies".[5]
