Rupert Neudeck (German: [ˈnɔʏdɛk]; 14 May 1939 – 31 May 2016) was a German theologican, journalist and aid worker, especially with refugees.

He started as a correspondent for Deutschlandfunk, a German public broadcaster. Later, he focused on assisting those fleeing conflict, and assisted thousands of refugees from Vietnam in the late 1970s. Neudeck was a winner of numerous awards, including the Theodor Heuss Medal, the Bruno Kreisky Prize for Services to Human Rights, the Erich Kaestner Award and the Walter Dirks Award, and was co-founder of both the Cap Anamur and Grünhelme (Green Helmets) humanitarian organizations.
