Punggol (IPA: PONG-gohl) is a planning area and new town situated on the Tanjong Punggol peninsula in the North-East Region of Singapore. The town directly borders Sengkang to the south and shares riverine boundaries with the planning area of Seletar to the west and Pasir Ris to the east. Bounding the town to the north and north-east is the Straits of Johor, with Coney Island included as a part of the Punggol planning area.

Under the Punggol 21 initiative, there were initial plans in the 1990s to turn the area into an extensive residential town, and development started in 1998. However, the plan slowed throughout the 2000s due to the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and financial troubles within the construction industry in 2003, before construction development resumed during the late 2010s and the 2020s.
In 2007, a new initiative, the Punggol 21 Plus plan, was introduced to redevelop the area into a waterfront town. This led to the development of Punggol Waterway, Singapore's largest man-made waterway. Punggol is further divided into 7 subzones: Coney Island, Matilda, Northshore, Punggol Canal, Punggol Field, Punggol Town Centre and Waterway East.
