The Fuk Tak Chi Temple (Chinese: 海唇福德祠) was one of the oldest former temple in Singapore which has turned into a museum, built in 1824 by Cantonese and Hakka immigrants from Kwong Wai Siew (广惠肇三府). Two other Hakka clans, Fong Yun Thai and Ying Fo Fui Kun joined in 1854 after contributing to the temple's rebuilding project.^{[citation needed]} Dedicated to Tua Pek Kong, it is a Chinese folk religion temple which caters to the religious needs of both Chinese folk religionists and Taoists.

The small shrine later also catered to the welfare of the large Chinese community by functioning as an association.

In August 1998, the building was restored and converted into a museum with artifacts on the lives of early Chinese migrants in Singapore.^[1] In 2000, it became part of the new Far East Square development.

In October 2014, the temple closed for renovation and reopened in June 2015. Amoy Hotel's entrance is located through the temple as well.^[2] .
