Eve's Plum was an American New York City-based alternative rock band, who recorded in the 1990s. The band was fronted by Colleen Fitzpatrick. Eve's Plum released two albums and numerous singles on 550 Music/Epic Records, before breaking up in 1998.

In 1991, Ben Kotch who played drums, and his twin brother Michael who played guitar, had been looking to start a band and needed a singer and bassist. Michael Kotch met Colleen Fitzpatrick while both were in school at New York University, she became the group's singer and together they formed the group Eve's Plum. Chris Giammalvo joined the band on bass guitar. He would later be replaced on bass by Theo Mack in 1994. The name was apparently derived from the actress Eve Plumb, most famous for her role as Jan Brady in the television sitcom The Brady Bunch.

Eve's Plum toured independently throughout 1991 and 1992. The band signed a recording contract with Sony Records in 1992. Their debut album, Envy, was produced by Roger Greenawalt and released in 1993. The group's debut album failed to chart on the Billboard 200. The first single, "Blue", was also released in 1993 and was shown on an episode of Beavis and Butthead but did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100. A "demonstration" version of the single in CD format was also released to radio stations that contained an additional song, "Twist It" that was not on the album - as well as the songs "Blue" and "Envy" from the album.The band's second single "Die Like Someone", also failed to make an impact. The album's third single, "I Want It All", became the only single of their career to chart. It spent one week on the Modern Rock Chart at number 30. It was also featured in the film The Next Karate Kid. In 1994, Eve's Plum released the I Want It All Alive EP. The EP was a limited release. That same year Chris Giammalvo left the band and was replaced by Theo Mack on bass.
