Kembangan is a residential area in the eastern part of Singapore, lying between Bedok and Geylang and north of the Katong area. It consists largely of private residential areas and a small public housing estate at Lengkong Tiga. The area is served by the East West MRT Line at the Kembangan MRT Station.

"Kembangan" means "expansion" in Malay. The road Jalan Kembangan was officially named in 1932.
