Rudolph Guerrero "Rudy" Sablan (November 13, 1931 – July 24, 1995) was a Guamanian politician and member of the Democratic Party of Guam. Sablan served as the second Lieutenant Governor of Guam from 1975 until 1979 under Governor Ricardo Bordallo.
Sablan was born in Agana, Guam, which is now known as Hagåtña. He graduated from Father Dueñas Memorial School in 1950 as the valedictorian of his class. Sablan received his bachelor's degree in political science from the former Loyola University of Los Angeles, which is now part of Loyola Marymount University. He was hired by a Navy Public Works Center after college before enlisting in the United States Army. Sablan, who was based in Hawaii, served as an U.S. Army intelligence analyst and area studies specialist as part of the Army Psychological Warfare Unit. He returned to Guam after an honorable discharge.
Once he had returned to Guam, Sablan took a job within the territorial government. He was quickly promoted to administrative positions within government agencies, including the Director of Labor and Personnel by 1961. His work caught the attention of Governor Manuel F.L. Guerrero, who appointed Sablan as both assistant Secretary of Guam and executive assistant to the Governor during the 1960s. The appointments allowed Sablan to oversee much of Guam's executive branch.
