Sengkang Community Hub (Simplified Chinese: 盛港社区中心) is an amenity centre in Sengkang, within the North-East Region of Singapore.

The amenity centre is located in the town centre of Sengkang New Town. It serves to provide a one-stop access to community, educational, health care, security and counselling services for the residents of Sengkang New Town. The building, which was completed in 2004, houses a neighbourhood police centre[1], a Singapore Post post office, a People's Association community club, a SingHealth polyclinic[2], a Kandang Kerbau Women's and Children's Hospital women's clinic[3], and a Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association office[4][5].

Sengkang Community Hub, and its community club and neighbourhood police centre, were officially opened by Teo Chee Hean, Minister for Defence and Member of Parliament for Pasir Ris-Punggol Group Representation Constituency, on 10 December 2005.[6][7][8]

Sengkang Community Hub is well-served by public transport, being located near the Sengkang MRT Station, the Sengkang Bus Interchange and the Sengkang LRT Station. It is located next to Compass Point Shopping Centre.
