Baliochila singularis, the Lannin's buff, is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It is found in Botswana and Zimbabwe.{{Cite web|url=http://atbutterflies.com/downloads/lycaenidae_liptenina.doc|title=Subtribe Liptenina|last=Williams|first=Mark C.|date=|website=Afrotropical Butterflies and Skippers|format=DOC|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180627090821/http://atbutterflies.com/downloads/lycaenidae_liptenina.doc|archive-date=2018-06-27|access-date=2020-03-27}} Its habitat consists of bushveld and Brachystegia woodland.

There are two distinct seasonal forms. The wet-season form (f. martyni) and the dry-season form. Adults have been recorded near a Heteropyxis natalensis tree, where they were imbibing the secretions of membracids that were feeding on the tree.

The larvae feed on algae (cyanobacteria) growing on trees.
