Not to be confused with the pre-independence era ward in Jurong called, Jurong Single Member Constituency, which lasted between the 1959 general elections and the 1997 general elections.

Jurong Group Representation Constituency ({{zh|裕廊集选区}}; {{lang-ms|Kawasan Undi Perwakilan Berkumpulan Jurong}}; {{lang-ta|ஜூரோங் குழுத்தொகுதி}}) is a five-member Group Representation Constituency located in the western area of Singapore. The GRC consists of a large section of Jurong, sections of Bukit Batok and areas near Upper Bukit Timah Road. The subdivisions of the GRC are Bukit Batok East, Jurong Central, Taman Jurong and parts of Hong Kah. Clementi, a division under the West Coast GRC, was absorbed to the ward in the recent general election. Two former divisions, namely Yuhua and Bukit Batok, had been crafted out as Single Member Constituencies for the 2011 general elections and 2015 general elections, respectively.

The constituency was first contested in the 2001 general election with the People's Action Party against the Singapore Democratic Party. The ward won a walkover in 2006 before facing another contest with the National Solidarity Party (2011) and Singaporeans First (2015); however, this GRC has always been held by the People's Action Party since its creation in 2001.

The ward was first led by the Minister Lim Boon Heng until his retirement from politics in 2011. After his retirement, both new MPs Desmond Lee (now the Minister for Social and Family Development) and Ang Wei Neng (the Chairman of the Town Council as of 2016) has assumed leadership for Jurong GRC. Along with Lee, Jurong GRC is also headed by Deputy Prime Minister and Co-ordinating Minister for Economic and Social Policies Tharman Shanmugaratnam.

In February 2016, about 600 Jurong GRC residents in the Community Heath Assist Scheme (CHAS) participated in the Project Big Heart carnival, a joint project with Fullerton Health Group. Medication was prescribed to patients at no cost.[1]

Following his death, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced that there would be no by-elections to fill the position since it was a GRC.
