The following outline is provided as an overview and topical guide to Singapore:

Singapore – a sovereign republic comprising the main island of Singapore and smaller outlying islands which are located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia. Singapore lies 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator, south of the Malaysian state of Johor and north of Indonesia's Riau Islands and is in-between the Straits of Malacca and the South China Sea.

Singapore is one of the three true city-states in the world, along with Monaco and the Vatican City, and is the only one with full self-governance, its own currency, and a significant military force. It is the second smallest nation in Asia by land area, ahead of Maldives and similar to Bahrain.
