Tanjong Pagar Single Member Constituency was a single member constituency (SMC) in Tanjong Pagar, Singapore. The constituency was formed in 1955 and was abolished in 1991. It was one of the longest-surviving constituencies since the pre-independence era, and has been a People's Action Party stronghold. Throughout its history, the seat was only held by the late Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, who held the longest political term in Parliament from 1955 to 2015.
