Rudolph Dorner (1948–2022) was a German-Canadian amateur astronomer, an electrician, machinist, investor and telescope collector. As a member of the RASC Kitchener-Waterloo Centre, he provided active, generous assistance to observers and instrument makers to extend themselves in their craft. The RASC's Dorner Telescope Museum is due to his inspiration.
