The Alstom Metropolis C751A is the first generation of communications-based train control (CBTC) electric multiple unit rolling stock in operation on the North East Line (NEL) of Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system since 2003. 25 trainsets were purchased for the line.

Following the withdrawal of the C151, C651 and C751B on the North South and East West Lines, the C751A is currently the oldest MRT rolling stock in Singapore.
