The Holland–Bukit Timah Group Representation Constituency is a four-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) located in the central, western and northern areas of Singapore. This GRC has received two contests since 2011, which are former presidential candidate Tan Jee Say in 2011 and the current SDP secretary-general Chee Soon Juan in 2015 who was being sued for defamation, both of which were contested under Singapore Democratic Party. The GRC consists of four divisions which includes Cashew, Bukit Timah, Ulu Pandan and Zhenghua.
Originally known as the Holland–Bukit Panjang Group Representation Constituency, it was renamed to its present name due to the Bukit Panjang ward of the GRC being carved out to form a Single Member Constituency, in return the Bukit Timah Single Member Constituency was absorbed. A large portion of Holland–Bukit Timah GRC is made up of jungle and nature reserve, namely the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Central Water Catchment.
Holland–Bukit Timah GRC is led by Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Minister responsible for driving the Smart Nation Initiative Dr Vivian Balakrishnan and co-led by Senior Minister of State Sim Ann.
Holland–Bukit Timah GRC with Bukit Panjang SMC are under the same town council, Holland-Bukit Panjang Town Council.
