Rita Ortiz was a character in the long running police drama series NYPD Blue. She was played by Jacqueline Obradors.

Joining in season 8 to replace Diane Russell she was partnered up with Connie McDowell and the two became close friends as well as partners. During this time she became involved with John Clark, Jr.. Her relationship with Clark finished when he pushed her away after the death of his father. Her next relationship was also within the squad, this time with Tony Rodriguez who was just about to leave the squad. It was revealed a year later that she was again single, the assumption being that the relationship had ended in the interim.

After McDowell's departure she was partnered up with Laura Murphy for the show's final season. After some initial scepticism on Ortiz's part, especially about Murphy's flirting, by the end of the show they had become a good team. In the show's final episode they were the only partners to say goodnight together to their new boss, Andy Sipowicz.
