Rudi Frigo (born 31 January 1974) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the Brisbane Bears in the Australian Football League (AFL). Frigo was a key position player, occasionally called on to ruck. After the 1991 AFL season concluded, Frigo was one of eight young Queensland based players who were signed by Brisbane as "zone clearing" concession picks.
Originally from Mayne, he didn't play senior AFL football until midway through the 1994 AFL season and made a total of seven appearances that year. He played just one more game in 1995 and finished his league career with a rare statistic for a Bears player, which was that he played in more wins than losses.

A number of juniors moved to Zillmere over the last decade to enhance their prospects of being drafted into the AFL system, with the likes of Daniel Pratt, Cheynee Stiller, Joel Macdonald, Luke Weller and Marcus Allan all playing at the elite level. Tony Beckett, Carl Herbert, Dale Woodhall, Matthew Simpson and Rudi Frigo are other ex-Hornets to make the grade in the AFL.
Brisbane 19-year-old Rudi Frigo, unable to win a place in the Bears line-up, had a tremendous and telling contest with Richmond centre half-forward Brendon Gale, who managed two goals for Tasmania.
The defence was also down to its bare bones late in the year when Rudi Frigo and Daryl White were injured. ``We'd like to get better with what we've got, but that doesn't prove to be the case these days," Walls said.
Former Brisbane Bears superstar Rudi Frigo, recruited to the club by Justin "Dogga" Shannon, is probably the Wildcats best known player.
