Sơn Tây, District-level town in western Hanoi, Vietnam.

Sơn Tây spans across 113 square kilometers of land, combining urban areas with traditional farming villages at an elevation of 16 meters.

The town underwent changes in administrative status between 1978 and 2008, initially under Hanoi control before becoming part of Hà Tây Province and returning to Hanoi jurisdiction.

The ancient village of Đường Lâm within Sơn Tây preserves traditional Vietnamese architecture with buildings constructed primarily from laterite bricks.

Eight urban wards and six rural communes form the administrative structure of Sơn Tây, housing military institutions and educational facilities.

The Và Temple stands on a hill covered with ironwood trees in Vân Giã hamlet, serving as a religious center dedicated to Tản Viên.
