Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan (Chinese: 潮州八邑會館) is a Teochew clan association in Singapore. Poit Ip, which means eight districts in the Teochew dialect, stood for the eight Teochew districts in the province of Guangdong, China. Huay Kuan means "clan association". On 12 December 1928, there was a temporary committee convened a meeting at the Tuan Mong School in preparation of the formation of the Huay Kuan. On 20 March 1929, the British colonial authorities in Singapore exempted the Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan from registration, and it was formally established.
