Charran Kamkaran Singh (November 27, 1935 - November 19, 2015) was a West Indian cricketer who played in two Tests in 1960.

In his debut Test at Queen's Park Oval, Singh's run out dismissal was the trigger for the crowd to start a riot.[1]

Singh was a left-arm orthodox spinner who played for Trinidad from 1959-60 to 1961-62. In his first match he took 5 for 69 in the first innings against Jamaica; in his second, later that season, he took 5 for 57 in the first innings against the touring MCC. He was picked for the next Test, the Second, replacing Reg Scarlett. He took 3 wickets in the match, but West Indies lost, and he made way for Scarlett in the Third Test team. He replaced Sonny Ramadhin in the Fourth Test team, and took 2 wickets, but lost his place to Ramadhin for the Fifth Test.

He took 7 for 38 against Barbados in 1960-61, but played no further Tests.
