Zainudin bin Nordin (Jawi: زاينودين نوردين; born 3 July 1963) is a former Singaporean politician. A member of the governing People's Action Party, he was a Member of Parliament representing the Bishan–Toa Payoh Group Representation Constituency (GRC) for Bishan-Toa Payoh North from 25 October 2001 to 19 April 2011 and MP for Toa Payoh East from 7 May 2011 to 24 August 2015. He resigned from political office citing wanting to spend more time with his family.[1]

Zainudin is the chief strategy officer at food and beverage group Iron Chef F&B.[2]

Zainudin represented Bishan–Toa Payoh GRC from 25 October 2001 to 24 August 2015. He was the Mayor of the Central Community Development Council from 2006 to 2011, and was the president of the Football Association of Singapore[3] from 2009 to 2016. After stepping down from FAS, he was appointed by ITE College East as a deputy principal for development.

During a parliamentary speech during the Budget 2013 Committee of Supply, Zainudin revealed he did not serve National Service as he was exempted per the National Service policy's exclusion of some Malays.[4]

In April 2017, Zainudin was arrested, along with three others, for suspected misuse of funds at Tiong Bahru FC.[5][6] They were later released on bail. In September 2021, charges were dropped against Zainudin and one other.[2]
