Vitaliy Nikolaevich Rudenko, (Russian: Виталий Николаевич Руденко, born 26 January 1981, in Odessa, USSR, now Ukraine), is a goalkeeper, currently playing for Chornomorets.

Rudenko is a product of the Chornomorets Odessa youth system. Having spent a few years playing in lower divisions, in 1999 he was brought in to the senior team of Chornomorets as cover for Gennady Altman. The following season he was battling for the starting position, and becoming first choice keeper for Chornomorets in the 2001–02 season. He has since solidified his position as the number one keeper with a series of consistent seasons for the club.

Rudenko has represented Ukraine at all the levels. In 2006 he was part of the team that won the silver medal at the European Under-21 Football Championship.
