The Sengkang LRT line (SKLRT) is a 10.7-kilometre (6.6 mi) elevated automated guideway transit line in Sengkang, Singapore. The driverless system consists of 14 stations on two loops, with Sengkang station connecting both loops and connecting the line to the North East MRT line. It is the second Light Rail Transit (LRT) line in Singapore, and the first LRT line operated by SBS Transit.

The SKLRT was planned in tandem with the development of the Sengkang estate. Construction of the LRT stations and viaducts was completed in 2001, and the LTA transferred operations to SBS Transit in September 2002. The east loop began operations on 18 January 2003, followed by the west loop on 29 January 2005, with Kupang station being the last to open on 27 June 2015.

The line operates using the Kyosan Automated People Mover (APM) fixed block signalling system and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Crystal Mover APM vehicles. Two-car operations were introduced in December 2015 to accommodate increased ridership. Between 2018 and 2022, the SKLRT underwent renewal works to improve reliability. A new fleet of 25 two-car APMs is expected to enter service in 2025, replacing 25 one-car trains and half of the 16 two-car trains in the existing fleet.
