'''Nguyễn Văn Linh''' (July 1, 1915 - April 27, 1998) originally known as '''Nguyễn Văn Cúc''' was a Vietnamese revolutionary and politician who would later become the General Secretary of the [[Communist Party of Vietnam]] from 1986 until his resignation in 1991 due to poor health.

During his time in office, Linh was a strong advocate of "Đổi Mới" (renovation), an economic plan whose aim is to turn Vietnam economy into a socialist-oriented market economy. As such, Linh was often touted as the "Vietnamese Gorbachev" after the Soviet leader, who introduced ''Perestroika''.
