"The Singer" is a song recorded by American singer Liza Minnelli for her 1973 studio album of the same name. Written by Walter Marks, the song was originally conceived for an abandoned project by Barbra Streisand before being offered to Minnelli when she signed with Columbia Records in 1972. Released as the album's lead single by Columbia Records in late 1972, it was issued with "Mr. Emery Won’t Be Home" as its B-side.

The song received positive critical response. Commercially, it entered the RPM Adult Contemporary chart in Canada in January 1973, peaking at number 42 after several weeks.
