Lita is the third solo studio album by American guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Lita Ford. Released in February 1988, it was her first for RCA Records and her first published with the supervision of new manager Sharon Osbourne.

The album is Ford's most successful, reaching No. 29 on the US Billboard 200 chart and being certified platinum. It produced the hit singles "Close My Eyes Forever" (a duet with Ozzy Osbourne) and "Kiss Me Deadly" which peaked at numbers 8 and 12 respectively on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
