Dr. Kuldip Singh Kular, BSc, MBBS, MD, MPP (born December 12, 1948 in Ludhiana, Punjab, India) is a physician and politician in Ontario, Canada. He is currently a member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, representing the riding of Bramalea-Gore-Malton for the Ontario Liberal Party.

Kular was born to a Sikh family in Punjab, and received a medical degree from Guru Nanak Dev University. He moved to Canada in 1974, and completed two years of residency training in paediatrics at the IWK Health Centre at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia. He then worked for two years at the Canadian Armed Forces Hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia before starting a family practice in Campbellton, New Brunswick in 1978.

In 1986, Kular founded a family and sports medicine clinic in Brampton, Ontario, a city which has a large number of recent Indo-Canadian immigrants. He was also a founding member of the Northern Indian Medical and Dental Association of Canada.

In the 2003 election, Kular defeated incumbent Progressive Conservative Raminder Singh Gill by about 4000 votes in Bramalea-Gore-Malton-Springdale. He was a member of the Speaker of the Ontario Legislature’s multi-party delegation in June 2005 to the 43rd Canadian Regional Conference for the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association in St. John's, Newfoundland.

In the 2007 election Kular was re-elected, defeating the closest candidate, Progressive Conservative Pam Hundal, by 7060 votes.
