Colleen Ann Fitzpatrick (sündinud 20. juulil 1969) on USA laulja, tantsija ja näitleja, kes on paremini tuntud oma lavanime Vitamin C all.

Sünni kohaks on USA osariigi New Jersey linn nimega Old Bridge Township (Old Bridge).

Tema hittideks on “Smile”, “Me, Myself, and I”, “As Long As You’re Loving Me”, “Graduation (Friends Forever)” (mis tõusis USA Billboard Hot 100 järgi 38 kohale), “The Itch” and “Vacation”.

Fitzpatrick made her first musical outing as the lead singer of pop punk band Eve’s Plum, who got a record deal with Epic Records in 1992. The band released 2 albums and 7 singles between 1993 and 1995 before being dropped by their label for failing to achieve any mainstream success. The band continued to play together until 1998. Immediately following, Fitzpatrick took interest in a dance/pop musical project she dubbed Vitamin C. She shopped demos she recorded for a while and found herself with an album deal from Elektra Records. Her first album, Vitamin C, peaked on the Billboard 200 at number 29. The album’s first single, “Smile,” climbed to number 18 on the Hot 100. While the 2nd single “Me, Myself & I” failed to chart, the 3rd single “Graduation (Friends Forever)” made a huge impact on radio, though only peaking at #12 on the Top 40 Mainstream Chart and #38 on the Hot 100. The song is considered a landmark in graduation themed songs and is still hugely popular amongst graduation parties and ceremonies. It has appeared on the iTunes Music Chart at the end of every school year since the chart’s inception.

2000 aasta lõpus üllitas Fitzpatrick teise albumi esimese singli “The Itch”. Kuigi laul sai mõningase tähelepanu osaliseks, jäi ta pidama Hot 100's vaid 45-ndal kohal. Uue albumi debüüt oli samuti pettumus vaid 122 koht "Billboard 200"-s, "Elektra Records" andis nüüd juba peaaegu ilma mingisuguste reklaamideta välja tema teise singli “As Long As You’re Loving Me”, millel aga ei õnnestunud üldse jõuda USA tabelitesse. Planeeritud kolmas singel “I Know What Boys Like” tühistati ning Elektra Records lõpetas oma lepingu Fitzpatrick'uga.

Colleen on muu hulgas üles astunud ka Debbie Harry’s tütre Amber Von Tussle'na filmis "Hairspray. Ajakiri Maxim omistas talle 2001 aastal ka 76. koha "Maxim Hot 100 Women of 2001" valimistel.

She has her own lipstick color developed after her signature red-orange and blonde hair.
