Muriel Singer is a recurring fictional character from the Jeeves novels of British comic writer P. G. Wodehouse, a chorus girl on Broadway being first Corky's fiancée and later the wife of Corky's wealthy uncle Alexander Worple, becoming Mrs. Alexander Worple. In the 1990s television series Jeeves and Wooster she is portrayed by Dena Davis.

In order to get Worple's attention Jeeves produces a plan which involves Muriel Singer writing a book, which pleases Worple. At the end Jeeves writes "A Children’s Book of American Birds" in Muriel's place. Alexander Worple invites her to join him at dinner and marries Muriel Singer. Corky has only to paint a portrait painting of Muriel's baby. But Worple dislikes the abstract cartoonist portrait painting.
