Rebecca Ritters (born January 26, 1984) is an Australian actress.
She is mostly remembered for her role as Hannah Martin in the soap opera Neighbours. She first appeared in the show in 1992 when she was eight years old and remained in the show for a further seven years. Rebecca briefly reprised the role of Hannah as part of Neighbours' 20th anniversary celebrations.
After leaving Neighbours in 1999 she appeared as Caz in the Australian soap Pigs Breakfast in 2000, and as Amelia Porter in Blue Heelers in 2001.
In 2002 Rebecca toured with the British Shakespeare Company in an open-air production of Romeo and Juliet, playing Juliet opposite Tama Matheson as Romeo, and in the same year played Peaseblossom in A Midsummer Night's Dream with Wayne Sleep as Puck, also an open-air production. She also played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz at the Hazlitt Theatre in Maidstone, Kent. Also in 2002 she had a brief role in the British soap opera Coronation Street, playing Australian back-packer Jules Robinson who briefly boarded with Les Battersby, and playfully sent-up his mistaken belief that she intended to seduce him.
She has gone on to travel extensively throughout Europe and America -- studying acting at a prestigious college in New York and working on the stage in the UK.[citation needed]
She also had a short stint in the Australian medical drama All Saints, in which she played Nurse Rachel Simms.
