The 7th Parliament of Singapore was a meeting of the Parliament of Singapore. Its first session commenced on 9 January 1989 and was prorogued on 21 April 1990. Its second session commenced on 7 June 1990 and was prorogued on 29 January 1991. It commenced its third session on 22 February 1991 and was dissolved on 14 August 1991.

The members of the Seventh Parliament were elected in the 1988 general election. Parliament was controlled by a People's Action Party majority, who were led by Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and his Cabinet until 28 November 1990, when Goh Chok Tong and his Cabinet assumed power. Tan Soo Khoon served as Speaker. The de facto Leader of the Opposition was Chiam See Tong of the Singapore Democratic Party.

The Seventh Parliament saw the introduction of the Nominated Members of Parliament (NMP) scheme, which allowed for the appointment of non-partisan members of certain functional groups to Parliament. Cardiologist Maurice Choo and Chairman of the Singapore Tourist Promotion Board Leong Chee Whye were appointed as NMPs on 22 November 1990.

Shortly after assuming the role of Prime Minister, Goh Chok Tong would call a snap election on 14 August 1991, in order to court a fresh mandate. With a tenure of two years and seven months, the Seventh Parliament was the shortest in Singapore's history, as well as being the only one as of to have three sessions.
