Rab Noakes （born Robert Noakes, 13 May 1947） is a Scottish singer-songwriter.
Noakes was born in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland, and brought up in Cupar.
He has performed with Lindisfarne, who recorded his songs "Turn a Deaf Ear" on their first album, Nicely Out of Tune, and "Together Forever" on their second, Fog on the Tyne.
Barbara Dickson also recorded "Turn a Deaf Ear" on her album Do Right Woman, on which Noakes also performed.
Noakes also sang backing vocals and played guitar on the first solo album by Gerry Rafferty, Can I Have My Money Back, most notably on "Mary Skeffington", a song about Rafferty's mother.
After these sessions he became an early member of Stealers Wheel, although he left them before they recorded their first album.
Noakes made his own debut solo recording Do You See The Lights in 1970, with a line-up that included ex-partner Robin McKidd on electric guitar and Scottish jazz bassist Ronnie Rae.
This recording included the songs "Too Old To Die", "Together Forever" and "Somebody Counts On Me".
In May 1972, the British music magazine, NME, reported that Noakes was to appear at the Great Western Express Lincoln Festival on 26 May that year.
Other acts to perform in the 'Giants of Tomorrow' marquee included Budgie, Skin Alley, Tea & Sympathy, John Martyn, Warhorse and Gnidrolog.
One of Noakes's best-known recording, "Branch", was released as a single in the summer of 1974 from his album Red Pump Special, which was recorded in Nashville,
Tennessee and produced by Eliott Mazer, attracted considerable airplay on BBC Radio 1, but without making the UK Singles Chart.
The album Restless （1978） was produced by Terry Melcher at Starling Sounds, based at Tittenhurst Park, Ascot, former home of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, then owned by Ringo Starr.
