Jurong East /rɒŋ st/ (Chinese: 裕廊东, Tamil: ஜூரோங் கிழக்கு) is a planning area and residential town located in the West Region of Singapore. It borders Jurong West and Boon Lay to the west, Clementi to the east, Tengah and Bukit Batok to the north and Selat Jurong to the south.

The town was chosen as the site for the Singapore station on the Kuala Lumpur–Singapore High Speed Rail, which is expected to be completed in 2026.

The development of Jurong started in the 1970s when estates such as Boon Lay, Taman Jurong, Bukit Batok, Bukit Gombak, Hong Kah, Teban Gardens and Yuhua were built, mostly due to the resettlement of Hong Kah (present-day Tengah) and surrounding villages. Yuhua, Teban Gardens, Bukit Batok and Bukit Gombak formed Jurong East.
