Preap Sovath (Khmer: ព្រាប សុវត្ថិ; born May 25, 1975) is a singer in Cambodia.[1] He records for Cambodian production company Rasmey Hang Meas.

Preap Sovath performs the style of music known as "Khmer Karaoke", the name derives from the fact that most sales are of VCDs rather than CDs and all VCD film clips come with karaoke-style subtitled lyrics.

He performs on many televised anthology-style live concert programmes and holds residencies at Phnom Penh's nightclubs. He has also released a compilation album Do Re Mi with Kim Leakhena.
