The list of Geordie singers is a list of singers who are Geordies. Geordie is the regional nickname given to people from the Tyneside region of North East England. Geordie is also the name given to the dialect of English that they speak. Geordie singers are singers who are from the Tyneside region of England or singers who speak in the Geordie dialect. Most Geordie singers have only recorded Geordie dialect songs and feature on compilation albums of Geordie songs, however, some Geordie singers have found mainstream success in pop music, one of these being Sting from the band The Police.
