Cindy Birdsong (born December 15, 1939) is an American singer. She is best known as a member of the 1960s girl group The Supremes, where she replaced Florence Ballard in 1967. She remained with the group until 1972 when she left to pursue a solo career.

Birdsong was born in Mount Holly, New Jersey, and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She began her singing career as a teenager, singing gospel music in her local church. In 1957, she joined the doo-wop group The Del-Capris, who had a hit single with “The Boy from New York City”.
