Not to be confused with the defunct pre-independence era ward called Tampines Single Member Constituency that existed from 1959 to 1988. This article is describing a present ward in Tampines.

Tampines Group Representation Constituency (Chinese: 淡滨尼集选区; Malay: Kawasan Undi Perwakilan Berkumpulan Tampines; Tamil: தெம்பனிஸ் குழுத்தொகுதி) is a five-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the eastern region of Singapore. The GRC encompasses Tampines with five sub-constituencies, namely Tampines East, Tampines West, Tampines Central, Tampines North and Tampines Changkat.

Tampines GRC is led by Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat, together with Environment and Water Resources Minister Masagos Zulkifli after ex-Minister for National Development Mah Bow Tan left the Cabinet following the 2011 general elections.

Tampines GRC has faced a contest in every general election except the 1997 general election, in which the National Solidarity Party was disqualified. In the 2001 and 2006 general elections, the PAP's opponent was the Singapore Democratic Alliance. In May 2016, Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat was incapacitated due to a stroke that he suffered. His condition is currently reported to be stable but he remains in the hospital's intensive care unit. The four other Members of Parliament for Tampines GRC are taking care of his Tampines Central ward and former Tampines Central MP, Sim Boon Ann has returned to help.
