Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (Chinese: 阿裕尼集选区; Malay: Kawasan Undi Perwakilan Berkumpulan Aljunied; Tamil: அல்ஜுனிட் குழுத்தொகுதி) is a five-member group representation constituency (GRC) in the north-eastern region of Singapore. This opposition-held GRC consists of a large part of Hougang (excluding the Hougang Single Member Constituency), Serangoon Gardens, the southern half of Serangoon North, as well as a portion of Bedok.
Aljunied GRC was formed in 1988. During the time it was under the control of the People's Action Party (PAP), it absorbed several GRCs that the Workers' Party (WP) might have otherwise won (namely the Eunos and Kaki Bukit wards of the Eunos GRC in 1997, as well as the Punggol East and Punggol South divisions of the Cheng San GRC in 2001). However, in an ironic twist of events, Aljunied GRC itself fell to the WP during the 2011 general elections, making it the first GRC to have been won by a party other than the PAP since the introduction of the GRC concept in 1988.
