Singel amal

Rekaman amal atau lagu amal (singel amal, bahasa Inggris:charity single) adalah lagu yang dirilis untuk organisasi amal. Beberapa contoh lagu amal terawal misalnya Music for UNICEF Concert yang berisi lagu "Chiquitita" dari ABBA dan "Too Much Heaven" dari Bee Gees yang semua royaltinya diberikan untuk UNICEF. Singel Do They Know It's Christmas? dari Band Aid merupakan awal dari tren singel amal yang populer sepanjang dekade 1980-an. Di Amerika Serikat, We Are the World pada tahun 1985 merupakan puncak keemasan singel amal. Namun setelah itu, tren ini menyurut sebelum dihidupkan kembali pada tahun 2000-an.
