Jordan Rudess

**Jordan Charles Rudess** (født 4. november 1956) er amerikansk keyboardist.

## Biografi
Som niåring var han elev ved Juilliard School of Music for utdyping i klassisk pianomusikk. Han ble en eksepsjonell pianospiller, men sist i tenårene ble han interessert i rock, synth og populærmusikk. Med mye motstand fra familien, som ville beholde et klassisk vidunderbarn, tok han til slutt steget ut i synth-verdenen. 

Via sin medvirkning i Liquid Tension Experiment endte han opp som tangentspiller i bandet Dream Theater i 1999. Siden har han holdt seg til det bandet, med sideprosjekter som unntak. Hans kanskje mest kjente sideprosjekt er Liquid Tension Experiment, som også har med Dream Theater-medlemmene Mike Portnoy og John Petrucci.
