Rudolf Lothar German pronunciation: [r'uːdolf l'oːtar] (born Rudolf Lothar Spitzer; 25 February 1865 – 2 October 1943) was an Austrian playwright, librettist, critic and essayist. He was born and died in Budapest.

Rudolf Lothar was the author of novels, comedies, plays, and libretti (for Eugen d’Albert, Clemens von Frackenstein, and Paul Graener). Many of his plays and opera libretti were adapted for film.
