[[File:Chua Chu Kang Single Member Constituency locator map.png|thumb|right|240px|Chua Chu Kang Single Member Constituency.]]
The '''Chua Chu Kang Single Member Constituency''' was a [[Single Member Constituency|single member constituency]] (SMC) located in the [[West Region, Singapore|western]] region of Singapore. The constituency encompassed [[Choa Chu Kang|Choa Chu Kang New Town]]. It was one of the longest existing constituencies in Singapore, spanning 52 years from 1959 to 2011.

The ruling [[People's Action Party]] (PAP) won the constituency at every election, except in [[1963 Singaporean general election|1963]], when it lost the seat to opposition party [[Barisan Sosialis]] (BS). In the [[1997 Singaporean general election|1997 general election]], the SMC faced a four-cornered fight; [[Steve Chia]] from the [[Singapore Democratic Alliance]] (SDA) challenged different PAP candidates in straight fights in the [[2001 Singapore general election|2001]] and [[2006 Singapore general election|2006]] general elections. Before the [[2011 Singaporean general election|2011 general election]], the SMC and the surrounding [[Hong Kah Group Representation Constituency]] (GRC) were replaced with [[Chua Chu Kang Group Representation Constituency|Chua Chu Kang GRC]] and [[Hong Kah North Single Member Constituency|Hong Kah North SMC]].
