It is located in the Southeast region of the country and the Southern Key Economic Zone 2, bordering Binh Phuoc Province to the north, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) to the south and southwest, Tay Ninh Province to the west, and Dong Nai Province to the east. The province was created from Song Be Province on 1 January 1997.

Binh Duong is only 10–15 kilometres (6.2–9.3 mi) from Tan Son Nhat International Airport and important ports. All of the advantages create favourable conditions to achieve social and economic development.
