The Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI; Croatian "Institut Ruđer Bošković", "IRB") is a research institute in Zagreb, Croatia, founded in 1950, which studies the sciences.

It is the largest Croatian research institute in the fields of the natural sciences and technology. The name of the institute, which honours the great scientist Ruđer Bošković, was put forth by one of its founders, physicist Ivan Supek.

The institute has a multidisciplinary character: it employs over 500 academics and students from the fields of experimental and theoretical physics, chemistry and materials physics, organic and physical chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and medicine, environmental and marine research and computer science and electronics.

Within Croatia, RBI is a national institution dedicated to research, higher education and provision of support to the academic community, to state and local governments and to technology-based industry. Within the European Union, RBI forms a part of the European Research Area. Worldwide, RBI collaborates with many research institutions and universities upholding the same values and vision.

RBI developed and hosts the Quantum Random-Bit-Generator Service (QRBGS), an Internet service providing online access to a true random number generator based on photon emission.
