We calculate the cross sections for the single production of doubly charged dileptons, both scalar and vector, at e+e^\mathrm\ensuremath-, e\ensuremathγ, and \ensuremathγ\ensuremathγ colliders at \ensuremath\surds =500 GeV and 1 TeV. The e\ensuremathγ mode is by far the most promising---dileptons whose coupling is as weak as \ensuremath∼10^\mathrm\ensuremath-4\mathrm\ensuremathαem can be observed, for masses virtually up to the kinematic limit. Dileptons of mass up to \ensuremath\surds can also be seen in e+e^\mathrm\ensuremath- and \ensuremathγ\ensuremathγ colliders, for couplings of order \mathrm\ensuremathαem. In all three colliders, most of the cross section comes from events in which the only particles detected are e^\mathrm\ensuremath-e^\mathrm\ensuremath- (or \mathrm\ensuremathμ^\mathrm\ensuremath-\mathrm\ensuremathμ^\mathrm\ensuremath- or \mathrm\ensuremathτ^\mathrm\ensuremath-\mathrm\ensuremathτ^\mathrm\ensuremath-), the decay products of the dilepton, yielding an unmistakable experimental signature.
