Scardinius erythrophthalmus (Linnaeus, 1758)

Rudskallen (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) er en almindelig ferskvandsfisk i karpefamilien (Cyprinidae). Den er udbredt i en stor del af Europa samt dele af Asien. I Danmark er arten særdeles almindelig og findes i de fleste næringsrige (eutrofe) søer, moser og langsomt flydende åer, hvor der er rigelig grøde og vandvegetation.
