Rudna [ˈrudna] (German: Raudten) is a village (former town) in Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Rudna. It lies approximately 14 kilometres (9 mi) north of Lubin and 69 km (43 mi) north-west of the regional capital Wrocław. The village was originally called Nowa Ruda (New Rudna) - Old Polish ruda meaning ore⁣ – to distinguish it from the neighbouring small village of Stara Rudna (Old Rudna). Originated about 1280, it was not mentioned before 1347 in a deed of Charles IV of Luxemburg, at this time King of Bohemia, as a town within the Duchy of Ścinawa (Steinau). After World War II, the village lost its town rights and became part of the now-defunct Legnica Voivodeship. The village has a population of 1,300.
