Jurong Group Representation Constituency (Chinese: 裕廊集选区; Malay: Kawasan Undi Perwakilan Berkumpulan Jurong; Tamil: ஜூரோங் குழுத்தொகுதி) is a five-member Group Representation Constituency located in the western area of Singapore. The GRC consists of a large section of Jurong, sections of Bukit Batok and areas near Upper Bukit Timah Road. The subdivisions of the GRC are Bukit Batok East, Jurong Central, Taman Jurong and parts of Hong Kah. Yuhua and Bukit Batok divisions had been crafted out as Single Member Constituencies for the 2011 general elections and 2015 general elections respectively. The constituency was contested in the 2001 general election with the People's Action Party against the Singapore Democratic Party. The seat has always been held by the People's Action Party since its creation in 2001.

The electoral boundaries have been redrawn before the 2015 General Elections. In the 2015 General Election, the re-organised subdivisions of the GRC are Clementi, Bukit Batok East, Jurong Central, Jurong Spring and Taman Jurong.
