Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency (Chinese: 马林百列集选区; Malay: Kawasan Undi Perwakilan Berkumpulan Marine Parade; Tamil: மரீன் பரேட் குழுத்தொகுதி) is a five-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) located in the central, eastern and north-eastern areas of Singapore. The constituency consists of a section of Bedok, Chai Chee, Geylang, Kaki Bukit, Kallang, Kembangan, Marine Parade, Mountbatten, Ubi, Serangoon and Hougang.

Marine Parade GRC is currently led by both former prime minister and Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong and Minister for Social and Family Development Tan Chuan Jin.

Before the creation of Marine Parade GRC, Goh had been the Member of Parliament for the Marine Parade single member constituency since being first elected in 1976.

The Serangoon Gardens ward was part of the constituency until 2006, when it was redrawn into the Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC). In 2011, Kaki Bukit was also given to Aljunied GRC and in return, the MacPherson Single Member Constituency (SMC) was absorbed. In 2015, the MacPherson ward was hived off again as an SMC, while Joo Chiat SMC was returned to this GRC after over 18 years.
