Marine Parade Single Member Constituency (Traditional Chinese: 馬林百列單選區;Simplified Chinese: 马林百列单选区) is a former single-member constituency in Marine Parade, Singapore. It was formed in 1976 after the land reclamation works to build Marine Parade were completed, and absorbed into Marine Parade GRC in 1988. It was carved from Joo Chiat constituency.
