The Favorite Female Singer award is awarded yearly in the Singing News Fan Awards ceremony to honor the female singer Singing News magazine readers select as their favorite that year.
The award was originally called "Queen of Gospel Music." The award went through several name changes, including "Female Entertainer of the Year" (1986), "Favorite Female Gospel Singer" (1987-1988), and "Favorite Female Southern Gospel Singer" (1989) before being named "Favorite Female Singer" in 1990.
