==In fiction==
* [[M. John Harrison]]'s ''[[Kefahuchi Tract]]'' trilogy of [[science fiction]] novels (''[[Light (novel)|Light]]'', ''[[Nova Swing]]'' and ''[[Empty Space (novel)|Empty Space]]'') centre upon humanity's exploration of a naked singularity.
* "Dark Peril", by [[James C. Glass]] (published in ''[[Analog Science Fiction and Fact|Analog]]'' March 2005), is a story about space travelers on an exploratory mission. While they investigate a strange cosmological phenomenon, their two small spacecraft begin to shake, and they are unable to leave the area. One crew member realizes that they are trapped in the [[ergosphere]] of a [[black hole]] or naked singularity. The story describes a cluster of multiple black holes or singularities, and what the crew does to try to survive this seemingly inescapable situation.
* [[Stephen Baxter (author)|Stephen Baxter]]'s ''[[Xeelee Sequence]]'' features the Xeelee, who create a massive ring that produces a naked singularity. It is used to travel to another universe.
* In the episode titled "[[Daybreak (Battlestar Galactica)|Daybreak]]", the finale of the 2004 reimagined television series [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|''Battlestar Galactica'']], the Cylon colony orbits a naked singularity.{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}}
* The Sleeping God in [[Peter F. Hamilton|Peter Hamilton]]'s ''[[The Night's Dawn Trilogy]]'' is believed to be a naked singularity.
* In [[Christopher Nolan]]'s ''[[Interstellar (film)|Interstellar]]'' the nonexistence of a naked singularity hinders humanity from completing a theory of [[quantum gravity]] due to the inaccessibility of experimental data from inside the [[event horizon]].
* In the [[visual novel]] ''[[Steins;Gate]]'', a naked singularity is used to compress the digitalized memories of the protagonist into a smaller size, to then be sent back in time with an improvised "time leap machine".
* In [[Vonda McIntyre]]'s 1981 ''[[Star Trek]]'' novel ''[[The Entropy Effect]]'', a naked singularity is found to be a side effect of [[time travel]] experimentation, and threatens to destroy the universe if the time travel experiments are not stopped before they started.
