Rudolf "Rudi" Hiden (9 March 1909 – 11 September 1973) was an Austrian-French footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Grazer AK, Wiener AC and RC Paris.

In later life, Hiden managed several clubs in Italy, including Palermo.

Born in Austria and nicknamed Rudi, he was a successful Austrian international and in 1930 Herbert Chapman's Arsenal tried to sign him, but the Players Union and the Football League in England prevented him from doing so.

[1] He moved to France in 1933 to play for RC Paris alongside Auguste Jordan and later gained French nationality.
