Yuan Ching Secondary School (abbreviation: YCSS) is a secondary school in Singapore. It was established in January 1978 as a government-run, co-educational, integrated school with students choosing either Chinese or English as the medium of instruction. Mr Chou We Chuan was the founding principal. From 1978 - 1985, the school also functioned as a Pre-University centre offering Arts and Commerce courses. The last batch of Chinese medium students graduated in 1987.

The school is given support by the School Advising Committee, the Parent Support Group and Yuan Ching Alumni as well as by the partnership with Taman Jurong Community Club, South West Community Development Council, Jurong West Neighbourhood Police Centre and Lakeside Mass Rapid Transit Station.
