Alison Singer (née Tepper; born 1966 or 1967) is the president and co-founder of the Autism Science Foundation (ASF), a non-profit organization primarily focused on funding and advocating for medical research related to autism. She also periodically served on the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) between 2007 and 2019. Singer was vice president of programming for the cable and business development division of NBC from 1994 to 1999 and held multiple leadership roles at the non-profit organization Autism Speaks between 2005 and 2009.

Throughout her non-profit career, Singer has been generally supportive of the medical model of disability (particularly in the context of autism) and generally critical of the autistic rights and neurodiversity movements.
