Southern and Northern Dynasties (Vietnamese: Nam Triều Bắc Triều), spanning from 1533 to 1592, was a period that occurred during 16th century in Vietnam. During this period, there existed a Northern Dynasty, established by Mac Dang Dung in Đông Đô, and a Southern Dynasty, established by Nguyen Kim under the name of Le kings in Tây Đô.

In early time, Northern Dynasty ruled ruled the territory from Thanh Hóa to the North and Southern Dynasty ruled the territory of Thanh Hóa to the South. Both dynasties claimed to be the sole legitimate dynasty of Vietnam.

The two dynasties fought for nearly sixty years, ended in 1592 when the Southern Dynasty defeated the North and recaptured Dong Do. However, Mac family members had maintained an autonomous rule in Cao Bằng under the protectorate of Chinese Dynasties until 1677.
