Fengshan Single Member Constituency (Chinese: 凤山单选区; Malay: Kawasan Undi Perseorangan Fengshan; Tamil: ஃபெங்ஷான் தனித் தொகுதி) was a former Single Member Constituency within Bedok, Singapore. It consisted of Tanah Merah, Simpang Bedok, Bedok North Ave 4/St 4, Bedok North Road (Blks 1xx) and East of Bedok North St 2. It was formerly from part of Bedok, Changi & Kampong Chai Chee constituencies prior to the 1984 general election as the population in Bedok grew and absorbed into the then greater three-member ward Bedok Group Representation Constituency before 1991 general election and Bedok GRC had become a four-member ward. It was reformed just before the 2015 general election after being carved out from East Coast GRC.

In the 2020 general election, it was absorbed back into East Coast GRC.
