The Vietnam Partridge, Annam Partridge, or Annam Hill Partridge, Arborophila merlini, is a species of hill partridge in the Phasianidae family of birds. The taxonomy of the three scaly-breasted lowland hill-partridges is confused, and this species is sometimes treated as a subspecies of Scaly-breasted Partridge (A. chloropus), or both are lumped with Chestnut-necklaced Partridge (A. charltonii).
It is endemic to Vietnam in the dense moist lowland forests of central Annam.
