Lalita Singh (born 10 January 1965)[1] is a South African politician from KwaZulu-Natal. She represented the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) in the National Assembly from 1994 to 1999. She was elected in the 1994 general election[2] and served on the Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration.[3]

Though Singh stood for re-election in 1999, she was ranked 18th on the IFP's regional party list for KwaZulu-Natal and therefore failed to gain re-election.[1] However, she remained active in the IFP Women's Brigade in KwaDukuza, KwaZulu-Natal; in that capacity, in February 2001, she called for the state to charge with murder and castrate all HIV-positive child rapists.[4]
