Vincent Cheng is a Singaporean Catholic social worker who was detained without trial under Singapore's Internal Security Act (ISA) for 3 years.

In 1987, Vincent Cheng was one of the 22 Singaporeans branded as a "Marxist Conspirator" and arrested under Operation Spectrum. He was the last detainee to be released.

Vincent and his fellow detainees related some of their experiences, including physical torture[1], in the book, That We May Dream Again, published in 2009.

In 2010, he was barred from speaking at and attending a forum organised by the NUS History Society.[2]
