There are various reasons for a single cylinder misfiring, but these are the most common.

No or bad spark

Bad spark plug or bad spark plug or wire

Bad injector or injector wires. Use a NOID lite to see if the computer is firing the injector, but keep in mind even though the injector is being fired it could still refuse to work

mechanical damage such as broken valve or valve springs, bent push rods, broken piston, etc
