Rudolf Riege (born March 9, 1892 in Hameln; † November 2, 1959 in Hameln) was a German painter and graphic artist.
Rudolf Riege spent his childhood in Hamelin and began studying at the art school in Weimar in 1909 with the intention of becoming a painter. In Weimar he was influenced by Walther Klemm, whose woodcut series inspired him. When he continued his training in Weimar as a master student after the First World War in 1919, Expressionism was at the peak of its development. Here Riege found his personal style: as a graphic artist he worked primarily in woodcuts, with book illustrations playing a prominent role.
Riege's graphic works, including a number of militaria, found greater distribution through the National Socialist-oriented Woensam Ring of Creators. In addition, the artist worked on personal behalf of art collectors.
A considerable part of Riege's artistic estate is now owned by the Hameln Museum.
