Sarwan Singh (born between 1927 and 1929) is a former Indian athlete who competed in the 110 metres hurdles. He won a gold medal at the 1954 Asian Games in Manila in the event. Forgotten for the rest of his life, he is said to have resorted to begging before receiving a pension of ₹1,500 (US$19). Singh is also credited for having discovered the athlete Paan Singh Tomar, during his time as a Naik in the Bengal Engineer Group. Upon retiring from service in 1970, he drove taxi for nearly two decades.
