Rudolf Pernický (1 July 1915, Krhová, Valašské Meziříčí – 21 December 2005, Prague) was a Czechoslovakian soldier and paratrooper.
He fled Czechoslovakia after the 1939 annexation of Bohemia and Moravia by Nazi Germany, eventually settling in the United Kingdom.
Later in December 1944 he was parachuted together with rotmistr Leopold Musil into the Protectorate to support the home Czech resistance movement (operation codename Tungsten) – unfortunately 100 km away from their original target.
They both survived seven-day march through the snow-covered terrain avoiding any contact (carrying a radio beacon and other illegal material) and before World War II ended they actively organized the resistance movement around Nové Město na Moravě.
After the liberation of Czechoslovakia he joined the Czechoslovak Army at the general staff and graduated from the military academy.
