Rita Abatzi (also spelled Abadzi; (ギリシア語:Ρίτα Αμπατζή)) (1914 – 17 June 1969) was a Greek ''rebetiko'' musician who began her career in the first part of the 1930s. She was born in Smyrna (now Izmir), in the Aidin Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire.〔 Some sources have given her year of birth as 1903.〔 A versatile singer of ''rebetiko,'' Smyrneika and other music, she was a popular performer on gramophone records in the 1930s.
