Chương Thiện was a former province of Vietnam from 1961-1975.
It had 5 districts: Đức Long, Kiên Hưng, Kiên Long, Kiên Thiện and Long Mỹ. Vi Thanh was the capital of the province. Chương Thiện was created in 1961 by taking land from the provinces located surrounding what became Chương Thiện. The new province had no land on the coast and was very rural. The land in the province went back to more historical boundaries at the end of the war in Vietnam.
