Seletar ( ) is the regional centre of the North-East Region of Singapore. The place name was derived from the Malay subgroup who were indigenous to the area, the Orang Seletar. It shares boundaries with the planning areas of Sengkang to the south, Punggol to the east, Yishun and Simpang to the west, as well as the Straits of Johor to the north.
Formerly a Royal Air Force (RAF) military airbase site, the area now houses the Seletar Aerospace Park. The aerospace park houses industries specialising in aircraft maintenance and repair services. Despite its status as a regional centre, the area remains relatively rural in a local context, with more residential and commercial developments being constructed in the neighbouring planning area of Punggol. There remains future plans to transform Seletar into one of Singapore's regional centres, along with Jurong East, Tampines and Woodlands.
