Anthony Joseph "Tony" Singleton (30 March 1936 – 29 February 2008) was an English footballer who played as a centre half for Preston North End and New York Generals.

Singleton signed for his hometown club in May 1955, and made his first-team debut in 1960.

In the semi-final of Preston's run in the 1963–64, with the score level at 1–1 against Swansea City, Singleton scored a rare goal from 30 yards to win the game and send Preston to the final,[2] where they lost to West Ham United.
