Rudolf Vrba (lahir Walter Rosenberg; 11 September 1924 – 27 Maret 2006) adalah seorang biokimia Slovakia-Yahudi yang, sebagai remaja pada tahun 1942, dibuang ke kamp konsentrasi Auschwitz di Polandia yang diduduki Jerman. Ia melarikan diri dari kamp tersebut pada April 1944, pada puncak Holokaus, dan bersama menyusun laporan Vrba-Wetzler, laporan rinci tentang pembunuhan massal yang terjadi di sana. Pendistribusian laporan tersebut oleh George Mantello di Swiss diakui berhasil menghentikan deportasi massal orang Yahudi Hongaria ke Auschwitz pada bulan Juli 1944, menyelamatkan lebih dari 200.000 nyawa. Setelah perang, Vrba melatih dirinya sebagai seorang biokimiawan, sebagian besar bekerja di Inggris dan Kanada.

Vrba dan rekannya yang melarikan diri, Alfréd Wetzler, melarikan diri dari Auschwitz tiga minggu setelah pasukan Jerman menyerbu Hongaria dan segera sebelum SS memulai deportasi massal penduduk Yahudi Hongaria ke kamp tersebut. Informasi yang mereka diktekan kepada pejabat Yahudi ketika mereka tiba di Slovakia pada 24 April 1944, yang mencakup bahwa kedatangan baru di Auschwitz sedang diracuni dan bukan "pemukiman kembali" seperti yang diakui oleh Jerman, dikenal sebagai laporan Vrba-Wetzler. Ketika War Refugee Board mempublikasikannya dengan keterlambatan yang cukup besar pada November 1944, New York Herald Tribune menggambarkannya sebagai "dokumen paling mengejutkan yang pernah dikeluarkan oleh lembaga pemerintah Amerika Serikat". Meskipun membenarkan materi dalam laporan-laporan sebelumnya dari pelarian Polandia dan lainnya, sejarawan Miroslav Kárný menulis bahwa laporan itu unik dalam "detailnya yang tegas".

Ada penundaan beberapa minggu sebelum laporan itu didistribusikan secara luas cukup untuk menarik perhatian pemerintah. Transportasi massal orang Yahudi Hongaria ke Auschwitz dimulai pada 15 Mei 1944 dengan tingkat 12.000 orang sehari. Sebagian besar langsung menuju ke kamar gas. Vrba bersikeras hingga akhir hidupnya bahwa para deportan mungkin telah menolak naik kereta, atau setidaknya kepanikannya akan mengganggu transportasi, jika laporan tersebut didistribusikan lebih awal dan lebih luas.

Mulai akhir Juni hingga Juli 1944, materi dari laporan Vrba-Wetzler muncul di surat kabar dan siaran radio di Amerika Serikat dan Eropa, terutama di Swiss, mendorong pemimpin dunia untuk memohon kepada Miklós Horthy, regent Hongaria, untuk menghentikan deportasi. Pada 2 Juli, pasukan Amerika dan Inggris membom Budapest, dan pada 6 Juli, dalam upaya untuk menegakkan kedaulatannya, Horthy memerintahkan agar deportasi dihentikan. Saat itu, lebih dari 434.000 orang Yahudi telah dideportasi dalam 147 kereta—hampir seluruh populasi Yahudi pedesaan Hongaria—tapi 200.000 lainnya di Budapest diselamatkan.
