Mladen Rudonja (listen) (born 26 July 1971) is a Slovenian retired footballer. He most often played as a winger (usually on the left side) or striker.

International career

Rudonja made his debut for the Slovenia national team in a February 1994 friendly match against Georgia. Despite being an attacker, he did not score a goal for the team until his 53rd cap – in the second leg of the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifying playoffs against Romania in Bucharest. The match ended with a score of 1–1, a result that was enough to secure Slovenia's first-ever qualification for the main World Cup event. Rudonja played 65 matches for Slovenia.
