Singaporeans in the United Kingdom may refer to people who have full or partial Singaporean origin or descent, born or settled in the United Kingdom, or Singaporeans in Britain which are high-income expatriate professionals as well as skilled workers, with many still maintaining close ties with Singapore, especially those who continue to retain Singaporean citizenship while having permanent residency in Britain, as well as students.

As Singapore is a multi-racial country, a Singaporean British could either be of Chinese, Malay, Indian, or Eurasian descent, the main races of Singapore. The 2021 census for England and Wales recorded the majority (53.4%) of usual residents who were born in Singapore identified as White British. 19.0% identified as Chinese and 8.0% identified as Indian.[4]
