Yes. Your filing status is determined by the last day of the tax year. If you're not divorced under a final decree by the last day of the year, then you're considered still married. Your choice is either be Married Filing Jointly or be Married Filing Separately. Married Filing Separately generally has a higher tax rate than Married Filing Jointly.
If you have any dependents, you might be able to file as Head of Household.

Is Recording a deed as unmarried but are married legal?
Not technically. While it is unlikely that anyone has ever had the police show up for doing so, it is technically fraud. If you are married and live in a community property state, your spouse has rights to property obtained in the course of the marriage. The spouse may give up this right. A married male holding title alone would record as " John Doe, a married man, as his sole and separate property". If it came down to a lawsuit, the courts would see that the marriage predated the property vesting and the spouse would likely be able to claim an interest.

Spouse and I are not together. If filing single can your spouse get your federal refund if she owes?
A married person cannot "file single." I assume you mean file separately. If you file separately, neither spouse can claim credit for tax withholding taken from the other spouse. However, if you made any joint estimated tax payments, your spouse may be able to get at those. Tax tip: If you did not live with your spouse at all during the last six months of the year (and this was more than a temporary situation) and you otherwise meet the requirements for filing as Head of Household, you may be able to file as Head of Household instead of Married Filing Separately.
