Rudňany () is a village and municipality in the Spišská Nová Ves District in the Košice Region of central-eastern Slovakia.
==History== In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1255. By the 13th century, silver and copper were mined in the area. Mercury was a byproduct of mining processes. Around 1895, an iron ore smelting company Vitkovické ironworks, was founded and following the end of the 2nd World War it became the largest of its kind in Slovakia.
