Laurence Singleton was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1659.

Singleton may have been the brother of William Singleton MP for Gloucester in 1640 and hence son of Thomas Singleton, merchant of London and Gloucester. He was Sheriff of Gloucester in 1634 and mayor of Gloucester in 1645.[1]

In 1659, Singleton was elected Member of Parliament for Gloucester in the Third Protectorate Parliament.[2] He was appointed a militia commissioner for Gloucester on 9 August 1659.[1]

Singleton married Joan Robinson, daughter of Alderman Anthony Robinson.[1]
