Daryle Bruce Singletary (March 10, 1971–February 12, 2018) was an American country music singer. Between 1995 and 1998, he recorded for Giant Records, for which he released three studio albums, Daryle Singletary, All Because of You (1996), and Ain't It the Truth (1998). In the same timespan, Singletary entered the Top 40 of the Hot Country Songs charts five times, reaching No. 2 with "I Let Her Lie" and "Amen Kind of Love", and No. 4 with "Too Much Fun".

In 2000, Singletary switched to Audium Entertainment (now part of MNRK Music Group), where he released the albums Now and Again (2000) and That's Why I Sing This Way (2002), both of which were largely composed of cover songs. A third album of covers, Straight from the Heart (2007), was issued on the independent Shanachie Records label. He returned to E1 Music in 2010, to release Rockin' in the Country.

One of the demos that Singletary sang was "An Old Pair of Shoes", which Randy Travis eventually recorded.
