The in-plane thermal conductivity of iron-based superconductor ${\mathrm{RbFe}}_{2}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$ single crystal $({T}_{c}\ensuremath{\approx}$ 2.1 K) was measured down to 100 mK. In zero field, the observation of a significant residual linear term ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{0}/T$ = 0.65 mW ${\mathrm{K}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ provides clear evidence for nodal superdonducting gap. The field dependence of ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{0}/T$ is similar to that of its sister compound ${\mathrm{CsFe}}_{2}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$ with comparable residual resistivity ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{0}$ and lies between the dirty and clean ${\mathrm{KFe}}_{2}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$. These results suggest that the (K, Rb, Cs)${\mathrm{Fe}}_{2}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$ serial superconductors have a common nodal gap structure.
