Not to be confused with the similarly named, now-defunct Ang Mo Kio Single Member Constituency that existed prior to the 1991 elections, when this ward was formed.

Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency (Chinese: 宏茂桥集选区; Template:Lang-ms; Template:Lang-ta) 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, bounded between Jalan Kayu and Fernvale Road 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 had been part of the group representation constituency until the general election in 2006, when Yio Chu Kang division was carved out into a new Single Member Constituency, the Yio Chu Kang Single Member Constituency. In 2011, Yio Chu Kang was absorbed back into Ang Mo Kio GRC, while Sengkang West division was carved out into an SMC.

Nee Soon South had been part of the GRC until 2011 and Kebun Baru had been part of the GRC until 2015 – both divisions were transferred to the Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency. In 2011, the boundaries of the constituency were redrawn to include most of Aljunied-Hougang, and in 2015, Punggol South division of Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC was transferred.

Ang Mo Kio GRC is led by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong who is the MP for Teck Ghee and Co-led byDarryl David who is MP for Ang Mo Kio-Hougang. 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.
