Vita can refer to a number of things:
- Vita can refer to the female rapper. Look below.
- Vita (from the Latin word for "life") can also refer to a brief biography, often that of a saint (i.e. a hagiography). One can expect a vita to unfold its story gradually according to a set pattern.
- Often the term vita means a curriculum vitae. Through ignorance of Latin it is in recent decades incorrectly called a "vitae" or a "curriculum vita".
- Vita is also the Modern Greek name for the letter beta.
- VITA is the brand name of beverages in Hong Kong. For details, see the article for "Vitasoy".
