Pulau Seletar (or Seletar Island) is an island in Singapore waters, in the Straits of Johor off the northern coast.[1] It has an area of 38.5 hectares.[2] It is in a bay into which several streams flow, including the waters of mainland Singapore's only hot spring.[3][4]

Pulau Seletar is in the planning area of Simpang, in which it forms a single subzone of its own.[5]

The island is home to mangrove trees, the tallest of which reach a height of 80 feet.[4]
