Rita Maria de Azevedo Mafra Guerra, better known as Rita Guerra, is a Portuguese singer.

Since 1989, Rita is a regular feature on the shows of Casino do Estoril. She set foot for the first time on the casino’s stage side by side with Adamo, a well known Belgian singer. “Pormenores sem a mínima importância” was her debut album, featuring Rui Veloso, a famous rock singer and composer, and the group Taxi. “Independence Day” was her second album, a CD released in 1995 sang only in English. Approaching ethnic music in the album “Da Gama”, Rita Guerra got the help of maestro Pedro Osório and Paulo de Carvalho, Portuguese representative at ESC 1974. In 2000, Rita and Beto, one of the backing singers in Riga, released an album called “Desencontros”. In addition, she's also known for her soundtrack work.

Rita has also attempted to represent Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest; in 1992, she made it to the national finals with the song "Meu amor inventado em mim", which placed second. She was finally chosen to become Portugal's representative eleven years later, where she performed Deixa-me sonhar (só mais uma vez). It placed 22nd with 13 points

Her sister, Suzy, represented Portugal at Eurovision in 2014.

Rita won the first season of the Portuguese version of The Masked Singer in 2020 as "Corvo" (Crow).
