Rudná is a town in Prague-West District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.

After the municipality was established in 1951, it got its name derived from the Czech word ruda (i.e. 'ore'), which commemorates a long history of iron ore mining in the region.

Two villages, Hořelice and Dušníky, were originally located in the area of today's Rudná.

In 1951, Dušníky and Hořelice merged into a new municipality under the newly created name Rudná.

[2] Rudná is located along an old second-class road from Prague to Beroun and Plzeň.
