Rudolf Rabl JUDr (23 March 1889, Jindřichův Hradec, Bohemia - 20 August 1951, Newcastle, England)[1] was a Czech lawyer and part of the Czechoslovak government-in-exile in London during the Second World War. In Prague, Rabl was a special advisor to the Czechoslovak Ministry of Finance.[2][3] He commentated of legal affairs.[4] Livia Rothkirchen described Rabl as being a member of "the cream of the cultural elite" in Europe.[5]

Rabl studied law at various universities including Charles University in Prague.[6] In 1933, Rabl acted on behalf of German Jews wishing to escape Germany for Czechoslovakia.[5][2] Being Jewish, Rabl fled Czechoslovakia because of Nazi persecution and was given the name "Dr Jur Rudolf Israel Rabl" by the Nazis in documents.[7][better source needed] His property was confiscated.[8][better source needed]

Rabl had Communist sympathies.[9][10]
