Trần Thanh Vân (born 24 July 1959) is a Vietnamese sprinter. She competed in the women's 100 metres at the 1980 Summer Olympics.[1]

Tran was coached by Nguyễn Hoàng An, and she was part of a training group that held most of Vietnam's records in athletics.[2]

Tran later became the head of athletics in Hanoi, the second-most populated city in Vietnam.[3][4] Under her training, Hanoi athletes won 100 m and 400 m gold medals ahead of rival Ho Chi Minh City athletics teams.[5]
