Stara Rudna (German: Alt Raudten) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Rudna, within Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. Prior to 1945 it was in Germany.

It lies approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) north-east of Lubin, and 67 kilometres (42 mi) north-west of the regional capital Wrocław. The village has a population of 140.

The place originally called Ruda may had developed out of an old Slavic castle and a church built about 1100 by Piotr Włostowic of Dunin, though no documents are saved.

Christian Knorr von Rosenroth, Christian Hebraist was born in Alt Raudten on July 15, 1631 as a pastor's son.
