Ca Mau (in Vietnamese, Cà Mau) is a Province of Vietnam, named after its capital city. It is the southernmost of Vietnam's provinces.

Being surrounded by sea on three sides, fishing is an important industry in Ca Mau province. An extensive network of canals also supports a strong agricultural sector, as well as providing a popular means of transport.

Politically, Ca Mau is divided into eight districts: Cai Nuoc, Dam Doi, Ngoc Hien, Thoi Binh, Tran Van Thoi, U Minh. The provincial capital, also named Ca Mau, is a separate municipality.
