Pearl Bank Apartments (Chinese: 珍珠苑; pinyin: Zhēnzhū yuàn) was a high-rise private residential building on Pearl's Hill in Outram, near the Chinatown area of Singapore.

As the tallest and densest residential building in Singapore when completed in June 1976, Pearl Bank Apartments was one of Singapore's pioneers of high-rise high-density living and influenced urban development in Singapore and other cities across Southeast Asia.^[1]
