Potong Pasir is an area located between Toa Payoh and Sennett Estate in the Central Region of Singapore. For urban planning purposes, it is classified under the Toa Payoh area.

Its Opposition Member of Parliament Chiam See Tong has held the ward since 1984.From 1910 to 1937, it was dominated by sand-quarries, hence giving it its present name, which means ''cut sand'' in Malay. These mining activities created four ponds linked to the Kallang River, although they were reduced to two due to massive flooding in 1968. The ponds provided a good source of food for the local village folk, until pollution set in later.
