Rudolf Rabl (23 March 1889 - 20 August 1951) was a Bohemian-born Austrian-Czech lawyer, writer, art collector, and member of the Czechoslovak government-in-exile, 1940-45.

[4] From 1933 he acted on behalf of political and Jewish refugees wishing to flee to Czechoslovakia and co-founded the Czech Association for the Support of German Emigrants (Sdružení k podpoře německých emigrantů) in Prague, which was active throughout Czechoslovakia and was primarily made up of activists from the Czechoslovak section of the International Red Aid (which had been dissolved in 1932).

[6][7][8] In this position he was able to use some influence to secure safe passage for several Jewish academics and political refugees.

Czech historian Livia Rothkirchen described Rabl as being a member of "the cream of the cultural elite" in Europe.

[9] Rabl had socialist sympathies and had an extensive art collection, including artwork by his friend Oskar Kokoschka.
