The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover C810/C810A is an automated people mover train that serves the Sengkang LRT line and Punggol LRT line in Singapore. The C810 has been operating since 18 January 2003, with its first service on the Sengkang East Loop. The C810A commenced revenue service on 5 April 2016.

The C810 and C810A were developed and built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in cooperation with Crystal Mover Bodywork, the same company that developed the newer Changi Airport Skytrain. The trains were developed for airport and light rail applications. They are fully automated and driverless, relying on Automatic Train Control (ATC) technology.

Singapore's Light Rail Transit purchased 41 C810s and 16 C810As to be used on the Sengkang LRT line and Punggol LRT line. From 2013 to 2015, 16 of the 41 C810s were modified to enable two-car formations to cope with higher demand for the Sengkang and Punggol LRT lines.

The C810D vehicles are expected to replace all of the first-generation C810 vehicles from June 2025 onwards.
