Janil Arusha Puthucheary (Tamil: ஜனில் புதுச்சேரி, romanized: Jaṉil Putuccēri; born 1972)^[1] is a Singaporean politician and paediatrician. A member of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), he has been serving as Minister of State for Communications and Information since 2018 and Minister of State for Health since 2020. He has also been serving as Party Whip of the People's Action Party since 2019. He has been the Member of Parliament (MP) representing the Punggol Coast division of Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC since 2015.

Born in Malaysia, Puthucheary had worked as a paediatrician at hospitals in the United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore before he became a Singapore citizen in 2008.

He made his political debut in the 2011 general election as part of a six-member PAP team contesting in Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC, and won 64.79% of the vote. Puthucheary was elected as the Member of Parliament representing the Punggol West ward of Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC.

Since then, he had retained his parliamentary seat in the subsequent general elections and had switched to representing the Punggol Coast ward of Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC after the 2015 general election. He had since been serving as Minister of State and later Senior Minister of State at the Ministries of Communication and Information (2016–2017, 2020–present), Education (2016–2018), Transport (2018–2020), and Health (2020–present). He has also been the Government Whip since June 2019 and chairman of the PAP's youth wing.^[2]
