We give a version of the Weil estimate for the number of rational points on an absolutely irreducible singular plane curve defined over a finite field. The main result states that for such a curve \(C\) defined over \(\mathbb{F}_ q\), \[ | N- (q+1)|\leq g[2\sqrt {q} ]+ {\textstyle {1\over 2}} (d-1) (d-2) -g, \] where \(g\) is the genus of \(C\), \(d\) is the degree of \(C\), and \(N\) is the number of rational points of \(C\). We give a number of examples with \(g=0, 1,2\) for which the quantities \(N- (q+1)\) and \((q+1)-N\) attain their maximal values.
