Loyang is a subzone region located in the town of Pasir Ris in the East Region of Singapore. The region consists of three subzones, Loyang West, Loyang East and Flora Drive.^[2] The name means brass or tray in Malay.

The region is served with the exterior road of Loyang Avenue, which leads to Pasir Ris and Tampines and Changi City Point. Much of the industrial estate is dealing with aviation related services, due to its proximity to Changi Airport.

Loyang was a Malay kampong that once existed in the area, Kampong Loyang or Loyang Besar. Before redevelopment, its village mosque, Kampong Loyang Besar Mosque, used to be located in the area.^[3]

The area today is well-developed with residential estates, industrial parks and amenities such as NTUC Downtown East on Jalan Loyang Besar and a HDB owned neighbourhood shopping mall Loyang Point on 259 Pasir Ris Street 21.^[4]
