Seletar Constituency was a single-member constituency of the Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly of Singapore between 1951 and 1959. It covered the Seletar area in North-East Region.
In 1951, the constituency was formed from Rural East and Rural West constituencies. The 1952 Seletar by-election remains the only occasion on which a candidate not from the People's Action Party won unopposed.[1]
In 1955, parts of the constituency were separated to form Bukit Panjang, Sembawang and Serangoon constituencies.[2][3]
In 1959, the constituency was abolished and split into Jalan Kayu, Nee Soon, Serangoon Gardens and Thomson constituencies.
