Singapore Press Holdings Limited (SPH) was an organisation with businesses in property and aged care in Singapore. Since its takeover by Cuscaden Peak in 2022, it has been renamed Cuscaden Peak Investments.

Prior to 1 December 2021, SPH was in the media business with a reach in the print, digital, radio, and outdoor media. It formed part of a duopoly in the mass media of Singapore, with the other player being Mediacorp.[3] SPH had over 4,000 employees. Its team of approximately 1,000 journalists include correspondents operating around the world. 2,500 of the staff, including the journalists and its media business were subsequently transferred to SPH Media.

The company was one of the country's "blue-chip" counters on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX) until its delisting on 13 May 2022 following its acquisition by Cuscaden Peak.[4][1] It was also a constituent of the Straits Times Index until its removal on 22 June 2020.
