Rudolf Grosswang (born 1 April 1947) is a West German former luger who competed in the 1970s. He won two bronze medals in the men's doubles event at the FIL European Luge Championships (1972, 1977).
Grosswang also finished fourth in the men's doubles event at the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck.
His best overall Luge World Cup finish was third in men's doubles in the 1977-8 inaugural season.
After retiring from luge, Grosswang formed Rudi Grosswang Services (RGS), a marketing firm in Germany that has been involved in the marketing of the International Luge Federation (FIL) since the mid-1990s. This includes partnering with FIL's longtime sponsors Viessmann and Eberspäacher.
