Singaraja is the second largest city in Bali, Indonesia after Denpasar. The name is Indonesian for "Lion King". It is on the north coast just east of Lovina.

Singaraja was the Dutch colonial administrative centre for Bali and the Lesser Sunda Islands until 1953, and the port of arrival for most visitors until development of the Bukit Peninsula area in the south.

Gedong Kirtya, just south of the town centre, is the only library of lontar manuscripts (ancient and sacred texts on leaves of the rontal palm) in the world.
