Bukit Timah, also known as District 11, is one of the premium locations within the island city-state of Singapore. Bukit Timah is also an area that houses many expensive landed properties as well as high rise condominiums. Many expatriates (especially from the West) stays in this region. This region was later extended and Upper Bukit Timah (District 21) was formed. The Keretapi Tanah Melayu from Malaysia has a passing loop station here along its rail network from Johor Bahru to Tanjong Pagar.

Bukit Timah is also the name of a hill in Singapore. At 164 metres it is the highest point in Singapore.

Bukit Timah literally means "Tin Hill" in Malay.
