Roswell Rudd (born Roswell Hopkins Rudd, Jr. in Sharon, Connecticut, on November 17, 1935) is an American jazz trombonist. Although skilled in all styles of jazz (including dixieland, which he performed while in college), he is known primarily for his work in free and avant-garde jazz. Since 1962 Rudd has worked extensively with Archie Shepp, a close friend.

Rudd participated in key free jazz recordings, notably with the New York Art Quartet and on the soundtrack recording for Michael Snow's 1964 film New York Eye and Ear Control.

Rudd graduated from Yale University, and later taught at Bard College and the University of Maine.

Rudd has been a frequent visitor to the African nation of Mali, performing and recording with Malian musicians. His 2001 CD MALIcool, a cross-cultural collaboration with kora player Toumani Diabaté and other Malian musicians represented the first time the trombone had been featured in a recording of Malian traditional music.

In 2005 he extended his reach even further, recording a CD with a traditional music group from Mongolia, entitled Blue Mongol.

New York avant-garde trombonist Josh Roseman cites Rudd as one of his major influences.
