Lita is the third solo studio album by the American rock singer and guitarist Lita Ford. It was originally released in February 1988 and it was her first for RCA Records and her first published with the supervision of new manager Sharon Osbourne. Musicians Don Nossov and Myron Grombacher, who were best known for being the rhythm section of the successful American singer Pat Benatar, joined Ford for the recording sessions and for the promotional tour.

The album reached No. 29 on the US Billboard 200 chart[4] and produced the hit singles "Close My Eyes Forever" (a duet with Ozzy Osbourne) and "Kiss Me Deadly" which peaked at numbers eight and twelve respectively on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[5] "Kiss Me Deadly" was named the 76th best hard rock song of all time by VH1 [6] and "Close My Eyes Forever" featured on the video game Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore.
