The earliest modern contact between Mongolia and the Republic of Singapore (Mongolian: Сингапур-Монголын харилцаа, Chinese: 新加坡—蒙古关系, Tamil: சிங்கப்பூர்-மங்கோலியா உறவுகள்) started in 1950, and both countries established diplomatic relations in 1970.
The first dated interaction was in 1320, when envoys of the Yuan Dynasty (part of the Mongol Empire) were sent to obtain elephants from Long Ya Men (龍牙門, Dragon's Teeth Gate, the entrance to present-day Keppel Harbour in Singapore); the people of Long Ya Men subsequently visited the court of Yesün Temür in 1325 with a tribute and trade mission.

In 2008, the consulate-general became an embassy and Gansukh Purevjav became the first resident ambassador of Mongolia to Singapore,[8] Delgermaa Banzragch in 2012,[10] and in 2015 T.Lkhagvadorj (who also served as Dean of the Diplomatic Corps in 2020).
