The Single Tax was a monthly newspaper launched in June 1894 and published in Glasgow by the Scottish Land Restoration Union.

According to its first and only editor, John Paul: "The idea of the paper was first mooted by James O’Donnell Derrick, a young Glasgow Irishman who had joined the reorganised Scottish League shortly after it was formed in 1890.

The final issue of The Single Tax prior to its change of name, addressed its readers thus: "We have pleaded and argued as politicians, not for twenty shillings in the pound, but for a beginning, for the taxation of land values, and that is how the question is coming along - the thin end of the wedge.

The name Single Tax does not quite convey to those who have a listening ear for this 'expedient, necessary, and too-long-delayed measure of justice', that the paper is specially devoted to the taxation of land values.
