Irene Daye (January 17, 1918, Lawrence, Massachusetts – November 1, 1971, Greenville, South Carolina) was an American jazz singer.
Daye began her career at age 17 by singing in Dan Murphy's Musical Skippers big band while still in high school in 1935, continuing with Murphy through 1937.
After leaving Krupa, Daye retired from music at the age of 23, marrying Corky Cornelius.
Daye had a daughter in 1943, but Cornelius (then in the Casa Loma Orchestra) died suddenly later that year, after which she returned to her singing career.
From 1944 to 1950, she sang with Charlie Spivak, then married him in 1950 and retired from performance, working as her husband's manager until her death in 1971 at age 53 from cancer, in Greenville, South Carolina.
