The Singleton Family Cemetery is a historic cemetery on the western outskirts of Charleston, Arkansas. Established in the 1870s, it is the oldest resource associated with the early formation of Charleston, containing the burials of several of its earliest settlers. It contains more than 120 graves, only about 60 of which are marked. Its most prominent grave is that of Julia Singleton Cormack, one the community's first school teachers. It continues to be used by the Singleton family descendants as a burial ground.[2]

The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
