Rudi Wulf (born 2 February 1984 in Auckland, New Zealand) is a rugby union footballer who plays for North Harbour in the Air New Zealand Cup and the Auckland-based Blues in the Super 14 competition. He plays for Marist in the North Harbour in the premier competition. On June the 1st 2008, Rudi became a New Zealand All Black for the first time.

Wulf is regarded as a "three quarter", in that he can play wing, fullback and outside centre.

Wulf's promising career almost ended before it began when, in June 2005, he suffered a serious injury by diving into the shallow end of a swimming pool and fracturing vertebrae in his neck.
