The Rima Rudolf is a small lunar groove that runs through an extension of the Mare Serenitatis on its eastern edge, east of the Mons Argaeus . It extends in a north-south direction for about 8 kilometers. To the west of it is the Rima Carmen .

The name designation goes back to an originally unofficial designation on sheet 42C3 / S3 of the Topophotomap map series of NASA , which was taken over by the IAU in 1976.
