Rudna [ˈrudna] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Złotów, within Złotów County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.^[1] It lies approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) east of Złotów and 105 km (65 mi) north of the regional capital Poznań.

In the interbellum, a Polish school existed in the village. After the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, Poles were persecuted.
