The Coordinating Minister for Social Policies was an appointment in the Cabinet of Singapore, initially introduced in 2015 to cover both economic and social policies. However, the economic policy portfolio was dropped when the role was redesignated in 2019. The only person to hold the post, between 2015 and 2023, was Tharman Shanmugaratnam as he announced his intention to run for the 2023 presidential election and his scheduled resignation on 7 July 2023 from all his positions in the government and as a member of the People's Action Party, as the presidency is a non-partisan office.
