Toa Payoh GRC is a group representation constituency that from 1988 to 1997 comprised Kuo Chuan, Boon Teck and Toa Payoh, in the Central Region of Singapore. Kim Keat SMC was absorbed in the 1991 elections.

Toa Payoh GRC was co-led by Davinder Singh and Deputy Prime Minister Ong Teng Cheong. Ong would resign in 1993 to contest in the Presidential Election and later become the 5th President of Singapore.

In 1997, the ward was merged along with Thomson GRC to form Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC.
