The 2nd Parliament of Singapore was a meeting of the Parliament of Singapore. Its first session commenced on 6 May 1968 and was prorogued on 14 April 1971. It commenced its second session on 21 July 1971 and was dissolved on 16 August 1972.
The members of the Second Parliament were elected in the 1968 general election. The People's Action Party (PAP), led by Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and his Cabinet, controlled every seat in the legislature. During the first session, Punch Coomaraswamy handed over the speakership to Yeoh Ghim Seng.
The Second Parliament saw the resignations of five MPs on 30 March 1970, which was followed by a series of by-elections. The resignation of Chan Choy Siong left Parliament without any female MPs until the election of the Sixth Parliament in 1984.
