Steve Chia Kiah Hong (born 3 November 1970) is a Singaporean politician. He was previously a Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) between 2001 and 2006 and has been the Singapore People's Party secretary-general since 2019.
Chia started his political career when he joined the opposition National Solidarity Party (NSP) in 1995 and served as the party's secretary-general from 2001 to 2005. During this time, he contested in four general elections, as a NSP candidate in 1997 and 2011, and under the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) banner in 2001 and 2006 when the NSP was part of the SDA. However, he lost in all four elections to candidates from the governing People's Action Party (PAP).
Chia withdrew from contesting in MacPherson SMC during the 2015 general election after he received online criticism for pushing the NSP to contest in a three-cornered fight in MacPherson against the PAP and the opposition Workers' Party. He left the NSP and joined the SPP in 2018 and became the party's secretary-general in the following year. During the 2020 general election and 2025 general election, he contested as part of a four-member SPP team in Bishan–Toa Payoh GRC, but they lost to the PAP team both times.
