Rita Carewe (born Violette Fox, September 9, 1909 – October 22, 1955) was an American actress.

Edwin signed Rita to a five-year contract with First National Pictures, in reward for her work in Joanna (1925), which he directed.

The movie featured Dolores del Río, Mary Astor, and Lloyd Hughes.

The 100 members of WAMPAS chose her, along with Natalie Kingston, Sally Phipps, Adamae Vaughn, Iris Stuart, and eight more as the actresses as most likely to succeed in the film world.

A committee of 25 important people in the industry promoted Carewe for the role of Lorelei Lee in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1928).
