General Rodolfo Stange Oelckers (b. September 30, 1925) is a Chilean politician and former senator. He was a member of the Government Junta that ruled Chile from 1973 to 1990, representing the police force (Carabineros de Chile). He was elected Senator in 1998, finishing his term in 2005.

Stange was born in Puerto Montt, in the south of Chile. He was the son of Osvaldo Stange and Ina Oelckers, of German ancestry. Because of his, he studied in the German Institute of Puerto Montt and later in the Liceo de Hombres. He joined the Military in 1945 and the Carabineros two years later.

During the presidency of Augusto Pinochet, Stange rose through the ranks until becoming General Subdirector of the police force in June 1982. When General Director César Mendoza resigned in August 2, 1985, Stange was duly appointed to that post, serving "ex officio" as member of the government junta. Stange continued serving as general director after Pinochet's presidency ended in 1990.

After finishing his term as General Director of Carabineros in 1995, Stange dedicated himself to politics. he joined the Independent Democratic Union and in 1997 was elected to the 17th Senatorial Circunscription (South Los Lagos).
