Cherry-Ann Singh (born 13 February 1961) is a former Trinidadian cricketer who represented the West Indies at the 1993 World Cup in England. She played as a left-arm orthodox bowler.

Singh played in all seven of the West Indies' matches at the World Cup, one of only four members of her team to do so.[1] Against India in the first match of the tournament, which was her One Day International (ODI) debut, she took 1/14 from five overs, and also scored 17 runs coming in seventh in the batting order.[2][3] Singh finished the tournament with 13 wickets, by far the most for her team – Carol-Ann James was the next-best, with eight wickets.[4] In her final four matches, she took 2/11 against Denmark,[5] 2/20 against New Zealand,[6] 2/20 against England,[7] and 5/36 against Ireland.[8] Her performance against Ireland was the first ODI five-wicket haul by a West Indian woman, and stood as a team record until August 2011, when it was broken by Anisa Mohammed.[9]
