Joo Chiat Single Member Constituency is a former single member constituency (SMC) that was located in the eastern region of Singapore. The SMC formerly encompassed the areas of Joo Chiat, Katong, Opera Estate, Siglap and a portion of Telok Kurau. It had existed from 1959 until 1988, when it was merged with neighbouring constituencies to form Bedok Group Representation Constituency (Bedok GRC). It was reformed just before the 2001 general election after being carved out from East Coast Group Representation Constituency. The seat has been held by the People's Action Party since its reformation that year and was contested again in 2006.
History
Bukit Panjang and Mountbatten currently share the roots where it has been interrupted due to Group Representation Constituency system, where it had been merged into the respective bigger constituencies at different times. No other constituencies has survived longer without the interruption after Chua Chu Kang had been merged into Chua Chu Kang GRC.
Prior to the 2015 general election, the constituency was merged into Marine Parade GRC.
