Indranee Thurai Rajah SC (Tamil: இந்திராணி ராஜா, romanized: Intirāṇi Rājā; born 12 April 1963) is a Singaporean politician and lawyer who has been serving as Minister in the Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister for Finance since 2018 and Second Minister for National Development and Leader of the House since 2020. A member of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), she was the Member of Parliament (MP), part of the PAP team, representing the Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency (GRC) between 2001 and 2025 and then as the MP, part of the PAP team, representing Pasir Ris–Changi GRC (GRC) since 2025.

Prior to entering politics, Indranee was a lawyer at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Drew & Napier. She was appointed Senior Counsel in January 2003. Indranee made her political debut in the 2001 general election as part of a six-member PAP team contesting in Tanjong Pagar GRC and won. She was subsequently elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) representing the Tanglin–Cairnhill ward of Tanjong Pagar GRC. After the death of Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew on 23 March 2015, Indranee also served as the grassroot advisor for the Tiong Bahru ward until the 2015 general election as no by-elections were called due to it being a group representation constituency.
