The RITA® is an award given by the Romance Writers of America (RWA) to the best romance fiction in a given year published by an RWA-recognized publisher. Named after RWA’s first president, Rita Clay Estrada, the RITA® is the highest honor a romance author can receive. Published authors judge entrants in various categories. The finalists are generally announced toward the end of March. Winners are announced at RWA's Annual Conference held during the summer.

From its introduction in 1982 until 1989, the RITA® was known as The Golden Medallion. The current award is a gold statue.
