Hóc Môn is a district of Ho Chi Minh City. It is made up of 11 wards: Xuân Thới Sơn, Bà Điểm, Đông Thạnh, Xuân Thới Sơn, Nhị Bình, Xuân Thới Thượng, Tân Hiệp, Thới Tam Thôn, Trung Chánh, Tân Xuân, Tân Thới Nhì, and Xuân Thới Đông. Hoc Mon has one township by the same name. The district used to have 7 more wards but this was split to create District 12.

"Hóc Môn" translates to “the corner/alley with taro” because settlers on this once swampland found a great deal of taro growing here.
