Rudolf "Ruud" Frederik Otto van Feggelen (14 April 1924 – 9 August 2002) was a Dutch water polo competitor and coach. He won a European title in 1950 and was the best Dutch player at the 1948 and 1952 Summer Olympics, scoring 16 goals in 1948 and 18 goals in 1952; his teams placed third and fifth, respectively.[1] After retirement, he coached the national team between 1962 and 1966. In his honor, the Ruud van Feggelen-Award was established to distinguish the water polo player of the year in the Netherlands.[2]
Van Feggelen was born to Ms. I. van Feggelen-Hogendijken and Mr. G.J.M. van Feggelen; his elder sister Iet van Feggelen was an international swimmer.[3] Feggelen got married on 20 October 1949.[4]
