'''Rudolf Chrobak''' (8 July 1843 – 1 October 1910) was an Austrian [[gynecologist]] who was a native of [[Opava|Troppau]], [[Austrian Silesia]].

In 1866 he received his medical doctorate from the [[University of Vienna]], and worked as an intern at [[Vienna General Hospital]] and as an assistant in the clinic of [[Johann Ritter von Oppolzer|Johann von Oppolzer]] (1808–1871).
