Rüdigsdorf Switzerland (German: Rüdigsdorfer Schweiz) is a range of hills up to 350.1 m above sea level (NN) near the village of Rüdigsdorf in the district of Nordhausen in the German state of Thuringia.
The landscape is the last intact gypsum karst region in the state and has therefore been designated by the EU as a protected area. It is one of the smallest "little Switzerlands" in Germany. The majority of the area is a nature reserve.
