The 1952 Seletar by-election for the Legislative Council of Singapore was scheduled on 20 December 1952,[1] after the resignation of incumbent Vilasini Menon on 25 September 1952. Menon was charged with a criminal breach of trust in India, along with her lawyer husband.[1]

The by-election did not take place as scheduled as its sole running candidate, Madai Puthan Damodaran Nair, was elected as the constituency's councilor in an uncontested walkover.[1]
