Stara Rudnica [ˈstara rudˈnit͡sa] (German: Altrüdnitz) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Cedynia, within Gryfino County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland, close to the German border.^[1] It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) south of Cedynia, 50 km (31 mi) south of Gryfino, and 70 km (43 mi) south of the regional capital Szczecin.

Before 1945 the area was part of Brandenburg (Frankfurt Region) within Prussia, Germany. After World War II and the subsequent border shift, the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. For more on the history of the region, see New March.
