Siglap is a neighbourhood located south-west of Bedok in the East Region of Singapore. The area encompasses the Frankel and Opera Estates and their names have sometimes been used interchangeably to refer to the approximate same area. The planning subzone area of Siglap, as defined by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), is confusingly and inaccurately referred to as the small strip of land between Victoria Junior College and Bedok South Avenue 1.

Siglap is a residential area where a majority live in landed homes such as freehold terrace houses, semi-detached houses, and bungalows. Some of the land parcels near Siglap Centre have been redeveloped into serviced apartments and condominiums. There are also other apartments and condominiums in the Siglap area.

The few Housing and Development Board flats in Siglap have earmarked since 2015 under the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme for redevelopment. The East Coast Park is also located nearby, across the East Coast Parkway.

The area will be served by the Thomson-East Coast MRT line and the Siglap MRT station when it is opened in 2024.
