Rudolf Kittel (28 March, 1853, Eningen, Württemberg - 20 October, 1929, Leipzig) was a German Old Testament scholar.

Kittel studied at Tübingen University. He became Professor of Old Testament at Breslau and Leipzig. He produced commentaries and histories of the Israelites and the Near East, but his most enduring work was his critical edition of the Hebrew scriptures, Biblia Hebraica, which has remained a standard text.
