Adrian Tan Cheng Bock[1][a] (Chinese: 陈清木; pinyin: Chén Qīngmù; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tân Chheng-bo̍k; born 26 April 1940) is a Singaporean politician and medical doctor.
A former member of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), he was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ayer Rajah SMC between 1980 and 2006.
Tan contested in the 2011 presidential election in a four-cornered fight where he was unsuccessful in his bid, losing with marginally 34.85% of the votes to Tony Tan.
After leaving the PAP, Tan founded the Progress Singapore Party (PSP), serving as secretary-general between 2019 and 2021 and as chairman since 2021.
