V. Selvaraj is a former Singaporean football forward and a current coach.

Selvaraj played for SAFFC in the S.League, and also played for Singapore. He also played for Singapore Lions in 1994, the last season the Singapore team participated in the Malaysian League and Malaysia Cup, winning the Malaysia Cup final that year.[1]

He started his coaching career at SAFFC after his retirement from playing in 2004, progressing through the coaching ranks until he becomes the head coach of the club, now renamed as Warriors FC, at the start of the 2013 S.League season.[2] He only lasted half a season as head coach, resigning in early June that year due to poor performances of the club in the league and elimination from all cup tournaments.[3][4]

From 2015 to 2016, Selvaraj coached the NFA U15, who are taking part in AFF Championship, Lion City Cup and AFC Qualifiers.

He returned to S.League in 2017, taking helm of Garena Young Lions.[5]
