The Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency is a five-member group representation constituency (GRC) in central Singapore. It has five divisions: Buona Vista, Telok Blangah, Moulmein–Cairnhill, Tanjong Pagar–Tiong Bahru and Henderson–Dawson, managed by Tanjong Pagar Town Council. The current Members of Parliament (MPs) for the constituency are Alvin Tan, Chan Chun Sing, Foo Cexiang, Joan Pereira and Rachel Ong from the governing People's Action Party (PAP).

Tanjong Pagar GRC covers the second-largest area of downtown Singapore, after Jalan Besar GRC.

History Tanjong Pagar GRC was created prior to the 1991 general election from Tiong Bahru GRC and the single-member constituencies (SMCs) of Telok Blangah and Tanjong Pagar. It was assigned four MPs, as with all GRCs at that election.

During the 1997 Singaporean general election, Tanjong Pagar GRC absorbed the Brickworks and Queenstown divisions of Brickworks GRC and Bukit Merah, Buona Vista and Leng Kee SMCs. The Telok Blangah division was carved out to West Coast GRC. Due to the expansion of the GRC, the number of seats was increased to six.

The GRC was notable for its repeated walkovers since its formation, with the last being in the 2011 general election. That year, the five-member Tanjong Pagar GRC was the only constituency to be uncontested; a team of independent candidates had been disqualified for submitting their nomination papers late.

In the 2015 general election, a team from Singaporeans First (SingFirst), led by Ang Yong Guan and Tan Jee Say, contested the GRC in the first contest the PAP faced there. The PAP team, led by anchor minister Chan Chun Sing, won 77.71% of the vote.

In the 2020 general election, the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) contested the GRC; the PAP team, led by Chan and Indranee Rajah, won 63.1% of the vote.

Prior to the 2025 general election, Tanjong Pagar GRC absorbed the Dover and Telok Blangah estates of the defunct West Coast GRC. To maintain the former as a five-member GRC, its electorate was reduced by carving out the Queenstown division to form a new Queenstown SMC. Indranee left to lead the PAP team for Pasir Ris–Changi GRC. In the election, the PAP won 81.02% of the vote against the People's Alliance for Reform (PAR), the best result for the former in a GRC since the creation of GRCs in 1988.
