The Hong Kah North Single Member Constituency was a single member constituency (SMC) in the west of Singapore. At abolition, it was managed by Chua Chu Kang Town Council.

History

Prior to the 2011 general election, the constituency was carved out of Hong Kah Group Representation Constituency (GRC) as a SMC; it had previously been a division in said GRC. Hong Kah GRC was abolished at the same time in favour of Chua Chu Kang GRC. Amy Khor, the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for the GRC division, sought reelection in the SMC as the candidate for the governing People's Action Party (PAP); she won 70.61% of the vote against Sin Kek Tong, the chairman of the Singapore People's Party (SPP). She went on to win an increased 74.76% of the vote in 2015 against Ravi Philemon, also from the SPP.

In 2020, the constituency lost its Jurong West section to West Coast and Chua Chu Kang GRCs; in return, it received the remainder of Tengah from Chua Chu Kang GRC. Khor won reelection against Gigene Wong from the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) with a decreased 60.99% of the vote.

In 2025, the constituency was dissolved. The entirety of Tengah was returned to Chua Chu Kang GRC; the remaining estates in Bukit Batok West, alongside Bukit Batok and Yuhua SMCs, were merged with part of the defunct Jurong GRC to form Jurong East–Bukit Batok GRC.
