Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency (Chinese: 宏茂桥集选区; Malay: Kawasan Undi Perwakilan Berkumpulan Ang Mo Kio; Tamil: அங் மோ கியோ குழுத் தொகுதி) is a six-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the north eastern region of Singapore. The constituency encompasses the majority of Ang Mo Kio, Teck Ghee, Kebun Baru, Yio Chu Kang, Jalan Kayu, Seletar Hills, part of Serangoon North, the western portion of Sengkang - Fernvale, Anchorvale and a western portion of Hougang. In the 2001 general election, the constituency was enlarged to include most parts of the Cheng San Group Representation Constituency.

The town centre of Ang Mo Kio was part of the group representation constituency until the general election in 2006, when the boundaries were redrawn and an area was carved out into a new Single Member Constituency known as Yio Chu Kang Single Member Constituency. In 2011, it absorb into Ang Mo Kio GRC again, while Sengkang West division was carved out into newly Sengkang West Single Member Constituency.

Nee Soon South had been part of the GRC until 2011 and Kebun Baru had been part of the GRC until 2015, which transferred to newly created Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency. While the constituency was enlarge to most parts of Aljunied GRC Aljunied-Hougang ward and Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC Punggol South ward.

Ang Mo Kio GRC is led by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong who is the MP for Teck Ghee. The GRC has been held by the People's Action Party since its formation in 1991. The constituency had never been contested before in the three general elections before 2006.

The western portion of the GRC consists of parts of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve while in the northeastern corner, it fronts a short coastline in the Straits of Johor with 2 reclaimed islands, Pulau Punggol Barat and Pulau Punggol Timor.
