The Singapore national ice hockey team is the national men's ice hockey team of Singapore. The team is controlled by the Singapore Ice Hockey Association and a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) since 2 May 1996. As of 2025, Singapore is ranked 50th in the IIHF World Ranking and 15th in the Asian ranking.[2][3]

Singapore made its World Championship debut in 2022, and has also played in the Challenge Cup of Asia, a regional tournament for lower-tier hockey national teams in Asia. Until the 2024 Division III Group B tournament, they are unable to participate in the IIHF World Championship tournament in 2025 due to the JCube Ice Rink (the only indoor Olympic-size ice rink in the city-state) closed in 2023,[4] and cannot meet their minimum participation standards.
