Hougang Bus Depot is an SBS Transit West District bus depot ^[1] located in Hougang, Singapore. As of today, it is the oldest bus depot in Singapore with an estimated fleet of around 700 buses operating out of the depot.

Hougang Bus Depot started operations in 1984 when the north-east which is Hougang and Serangoon was developed and previously, all operations had been on Ang Mo Kio Bus Depot and Bedok North Bus Depot respectively.

With the opening of Sengkang West Bus Depot, around half of its parking fleet of buses were shifted to the new premises while Hougang Bus Depot now facilitates as parking space for buses from the closure of Ang Mo Kio Bus Depot since January 2025.

Hougang Bus Depot will continue to operate until Kim Chuan Bus Depot opens in 2026.

In April 2024, the training center located at the depot was moved to the Ulu Pandan Bus Depot to combine driver and technician training in the same facility. ^[2]
