"Let Robeson Sing" is a song by the Manic Street Preachers in 2001 (see 2001 in music), the fourth single to be released from the "Know Your Enemy" album. All three members of the band - James Dean Bradfield, Sean Moore and Nicky Wire - share the writing credits.

The song is a tribute to the black American actor, singer and civil rights campaigner Paul Robeson.

The CD includes versions of "Masking Tape", "Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel" - previously sung by Robeson - and a promotional video. The 12" has "Fear Of Motion", a "Let Robeson Sing" Ian Brown mix and a "Let Robeson Sing" Felix Da Housecat Mix.

The single reached number nineteen in the UK charts on September 22 2001, and was their lowest charting single since "She Is Suffering" reached #25 in 1994.
