The Former Supreme Court building (Malay: Bangunan Mahkamah Agung Lama, Chinese: 最高法院大厦) is the former courthouse of the Supreme Court of Singapore. Opened in 1939, the building was the last structure built in the style of classical architecture in the former British colony. On 20 June 2005, the Supreme Court moved to its current premises at 1 Supreme Court Lane, located behind the Former Supreme Court.
Since 24 November 2015, the Former Supreme Court, combined with the Former City Hall, serves as the location of the National Gallery Singapore.
