Theophil Ruderstaller (born 1906 in Ostermiething, Upper Austria; died 10 June 1946, in Fuxin, China) was a capuchin and China missionary.
In 2005, Bishop Joseph Wei from Qiqihar - since 2002 apostolic administrator of the former Capuchin mission Kiamusze (Jiamusi) - told Gaudentius Walser from the North Tyrolean Capuchin province that two coffins with the corpses of Theophil Ruderstaller (Ostermiething) and Antonin Schörcksnadel (Innsbruck) had been found while digging a fountain in the garden of a private house. On 10 July 1946 they were shot in the parsonage.
Currently, there is a beatification running for Theophil Ruderstaller.
