Aditi Singh (born 15 November 1987) is an Indian politician and a state legislator from Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh, India. She is serving as a member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from the Rae Bareli Sadar constituency of Uttar Pradesh, having won the seat in 2017 and 2022, 18th Uttar Pradesh Assembly. She became one of the youngest MLAs in Uttar Pradesh upon winning her first election in 2017.
She entered electoral politics with the Indian National Congress in 2017, but her views were often at odds with the party, such as her support for the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. She also expressed support for Prime Minister Modi on several issues of national interest, and subsequently joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2021. She went on to win the Rae Bareli (Sadar) constituency again in 2022 as a BJP candidate.
