The Pasir Ris–Punggol Group Representation Constituency was a five-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the north-eastern and eastern regions of Singapore. At abolition, the constituency consisted of Pasir Ris and parts of the Punggol town area, comprising 5 wards: Pasir Ris Central, Pasir Ris East, Pasir Ris West, Punggol Shore as well as Punggol Coast managed by Pasir Ris—Punggol Town Council.

Its first contest happened in 2006 with the opponent being Singapore Democratic Alliance. For the 2011 general election, the incumbent People's Action Party announced that their team would be led by Teo Chee Hean, and include Teo Ser Luck, Penny Low, as well as new candidates Janil Puthucheary, Gan Thiam Poh and Zainal Sapari.^[1] In the 2015 general election, Penny Low retired from politics and new candidates Ng Chee Meng and Sun Xueling joined the team.^[2]

Prior to the 2020 general election, the GRC was reduced to five members, with the new Punggol West Single Member Constituency (SMC) and Sengkang Central ward (which would become part of the new Sengkang GRC) carved out. The Tampines retail park (part of the Pasir Ris area) was also redrawn into Tampines GRC.^[3][4] During the election, the contest for the GRC was a three-cornered fight between PAP, Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) and Peoples Voice (PV). PAP was led by Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean, SDA was led by Desmond Lim, who announced that he would step down as chairman after the election^[5] and PV was led by Lim Tean. The PAP team eventually won the contest with 64.16 percent of the vote. while SDA garnered 23.67 percent. PV lost its $67,500 election deposit after garnering only 12.18 percent of the votes, falling just 0.32 percent short of the one-eighth threshold (12.5 percent) in order to keep their deposit.^[6]

In 2025, the GRC was abolished and split up into two portions to form two new GRCs. The Punggol estates were merged with Punggol West SMC to form the Punggol GRC and the remaining estates, along with the Loyang and Flora estates in the East Coast GRC, formed the Pasir Ris–Changi GRC.^[7]

Note: The Elections Department does not include rejected votes when calculating the vote shares of candidates. Hence, all candidates' vote shares will total to 100% at any given election (may not appear so in multi-way contests due to rounding).
