Rudepoêma (Rude or Savage Poem) is a composition by Heitor Villa-Lobos. It was written from 1921 to 1926 and is the largest and most challenging work Villa-Lobos wrote for the solo piano. It is in one continuous movement and runs about 19–20 minutes. The piece has been described (with license) as Le Sacre du Printemps meets the Brazilian jungle (Davis [n.d.]).
