Rudeus Greyrat (Japanese: ルーデウス・グレイラット, Hepburn: Rūdeusu Gureiratto)[a] is the main protagonist of Rifujin na Magonote's novel series Mushoku Tensei. An unnamed 34-year-old Japanese hikikomori is kicked out by his siblings following his parents' death and his absence in their parent's funeral. Upon some self-introspection, he had concluded that his life was ultimately pointless, but still intercepts a speeding truck heading towards a group of teenagers in an attempt to do something meaningful for once in his life and manages to pull one of them out of harm's way before dying. Awakening as a newborn baby, he realizes that he's been reincarnated in a world of sword and sorcery and resolves to live his second life to the fullest as Rudeus Greyrat. Due to inherited affinity and early training, in addition to his mother's influence, Rudeus becomes highly skilled at magic, and sets out to enjoy life and overcome his past.

In Japanese, the character is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita in his inner mind and former self, while Yumi Uchiyama voices the reborn Rudeus. Ben Phillips takes Sugita's work in the English dub, while Madeleine Morris does the young Rudeus.

Critical response to Rudeus has been mixed, with polarizing response due to his excessively perverted or even pedophilic nature with regards to his early interactions with young female characters, while others have praised his growth into a more mature appearance later in the story.
