Kit Chan (traditional Chinese: 陳潔儀; simplified Chinese: 陈洁仪; pinyin: Chén Jiéyí; born September 15, 1972) is a Singaporean singer. She was a member of the pioneer generation of Singaporean singers to successfully break into the international market, marked in particular by her breakthrough into the competitive and highly critical Taiwanese market with her hit Mandarin album Heartache (心痛) in 1994. She had released an EP "Don't Spoil the Harmony" (不要傷了和气) the previous year. She is also the ambassador to the Christian relief organization, "World Vision". Fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese, she is the first Singaporean singer to break into the Hong Kong Cantopop market and the Taiwanese Mandopop markets. She is a revered star in Singapore, with a quiet but solid fan base.
In 2004, she announced an indefinite break from the Chinese pop scene, to pursue her own interests.
In Sep 2006, she reprised her role again in "Forbidden City: Portrait of an Empress", as part of the grand plan to make this musical internationally recognised, in the hope of going on a world tour.
Besides singing, Kit has also been involved in television dramas. She was a member of the cast of the sequel to TVB's hit medical drama Healing Hands II, and was also female lead in SPH MediaWorks Channel U's drama serial Cash is King.
