Trần Ngọc Sơn (born 27 January 2003) is a Vietnamese professional footballer who plays as a winger for V.League 1 club Thép Xanh Nam Định.
Club career Born in Nam Định, Ngọc Sơn was a youth product of his local team Nam Định FC. In 2021, he was promoted to Nam Định's first team but only made his debut an year later. On 7 August 2022, he scored his first V.League 1 goal in his team's 2–1 victory against Hồ Chí Minh City.
In the 2023 season, Ngọc Sơn appeared in 13 matches and scored 3 goals. Therefore, he was nominated for the "Best young player of the season" award but lost to Nguyễn Thái Sơn.
In August 2024, due to lack of game time at Nam Định, Ngọc Sơn joined V.League 2 side PVF-CAND on a one-year loan deal.
International career In August 2023, Ngọc Sơn was named Vietnam U23's preliminary squad for the 2023 AFF U-23 Championship but was not included in the final squad.
In March 2024, Ngọc Sơn received his first call up to the Vietnam national team for the World Cup qualifiers games against Indonesia.
