Singus or Singos () was a town of Sithonia in the Chalcidice in ancient Macedonia, upon the gulf to which it gave its name, the Singitic Gulf (Σιγγιτικὸς κόλπος).
It is cited by Herodotus as one of the cities, along with Assa, Pilorus and Sarta, located near Mount Athos, which Xerxes had ordered to open a channel through which his fleet passed. From these cities he recruited troops, in his expedition of the year 480 BCE against Greece.
