website = http://www.rudnik.pl/ Rudnik nad Sanem [IPA-pl|'|r|u|d|n|i|k|-|,|n|a|t|-|'|s|a|n|e|m] (until 1997 "Rudnik", _yi. רודניק "Ridnik") is a town in Nisko County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland, with a population of 6,699 (2004). The town is located next to the river San, hence the "nad Sanem" (on the San) part of the name, which was appended to the official name in 1997. It is four miles south-west of Ulanów and 29 miles north-east of Rzeszów.

Until World War II the population of the town was predominantly Jewish. Notable personalities who lived in Rudnik include Rabbis Chaim Halberstam who served as its town rabbi from 1796, Boruch Halberstam (1860-1867), Tsvi Hersh Halberstam (1867-1906), Avrohom Halberstam (1906-?).
