Sing Buri (Thai pronunciation: [sǐŋ būrīː]) is a town (thesaban mueang) in Thailand, capital of the Sing Buri Province. It lies 141 km north of Bangkok. The town covers the whole tambon Bang Phutsa and parts of Bang Man, Muang Mu, Ton Pho, and Bang Krabue, all within Mueang Sing Buri District. As of 2006, it had a population of 19,470.

According to the Ayutthaya Testimonies, the city was founded by the Siamese monarch Anuraja in the early 12th century, who established it as the new capital of the Phraek Si Racha region, thereby superseding Chai Nat as the administrative center of the polity.
