Rita (Hebrew: ריטה‎, born Rita Yahan-Farouz on March 24, 1962), is a stage name of a Iranian-born Israeli pop singer and actress.

Rita was born on March 24, 1962 in Tehran, Iran. She and her family moved to Israel in 1970. Both her parents are Jews, her mother as well as her father are Iranian Jewish ancestry who immigrated as part of a large exodus of Jews from Iran to Israel after its inception in 1948.

Rita began her career in 1980 as part of a musical troop in the Israeli Army. In 1982, she attended the “Beit Zvi” school of acting. Her first exposure to the general public in Israel was at the 1986 Pre-Eurovision Song Contest (known as the Kdam-Eurovision), which decided who would represent Israel in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest. Rita did not win, but her song,”Shvil habricha”, along with her provocative performance garnered much interest. That same year, Rita starred in an adaptation of My Fair Lady and released her self-titled debut album, Rita, which went triple platinum, selling over 120,000 copies.
