Abu Ali al-Rudbari or Abuzer Rudbari (Persian: ابو علی رودباری), known also as Rudbari, was a famous early Persian[1] sufi saint of the 9th century. He claimed descent from the Sassanid king Anushiravan and was a disciple of Junayd Baghdadi.

Rudbari's statements are recounted in many sayings of the Islamic world. One of his most famous sayings is:

No prison confines more closely than the society of those whose outlook is contrary to one's own.[2]
