Rudolf Jan Vis (4 April 1941 – 30 May 2010) was a Dutch-born British Labour politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Finchley and Golders Green from 1997 to 2010.

This was one of Labour's more unexpected victories – part of the constituency formed the Finchley constituency once held by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher – and Vis had not even taken leave of his post as an economics lecturer prior to the victory.

His constituency was one of the top Conservative targets at the 2010 general election, needing only a swing of 0.2% to the Tories.

He opposed the use of PPP for the London Underground, the war on Iraq, top-up fees and foundation hospitals.
