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. 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. Singh finished the tournament with 13 wickets, by far the most for her team – Carol-Ann James was the next-best, with eight wickets. In her final four matches, she took 2/11 against Denmark, 2/20 against New Zealand, 2/20 against England, and 5/36 against Ireland. 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.
