Sushmitha Singha Roy (Hindi: सुष्मिता सिंघा राय; born March 26, 1984 in Midnapore) is an Indian heptathlete. She had won a silver and a bronze medal for her respective category at the IAAF Asian Championships (2005 in Incheon, South Korea, and 2007 in Amman, Jordan).
Singha Roy qualified for the women's heptathlon at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, after attaining a B-standard of 5,866 points from the Indian Federation Cup in Bhopal. She initially placed thirty-third out of forty-three heptathletes in the event, with a total score of 5,705 points, but was elevated to a single higher position, when Ukraine's Lyudmila Blonska stripped of her silver medal for failing the doping test on methyltestosterone.
The following year, Singha Roy suffered numerous setbacks in her sporting career. She finished last out of twenty-six athletes at the 2009 IAAF World Championships in Berlin, Germany, with a total tally of 4,983 points, which was farther from her personal best of 6,027, set at a national meet in Bangalore. She also missed out the 2009 Asian Championships in Guangzhou, China, and the Open National Championships in Bhopal, because of her left hamstring injury.
