Mộc Hóa is a rural district (huyện) of Long An province in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam.

In 1963 team A-414 Special Forces set up operations at Kien Tuong. In 1965 Seabee team 0503 upgraded the outpost to a B camp for team B-41. In 1966 the camp became home to the Mobile Strike Force(Mike Force) for IV Corps. MACV-SOG ran reconnaissance missions into Cambodia from there and the RVN army took over the base in 1970.

Since 2013, the district has been divided into seven communes:[1]

  1. Bình Phong Thạnh
