Bun Rany (Khmer: ប៊ុន រ៉ានី, UNGEGN: Bŭn Rani [ɓun raːniː]; born 15 December 1954) is the wife of Cambodian Senate president and former prime minister Hun Sen. She also served as the vice president of the National Association of the Cambodian Red Cross and, since 1998, as its president. She has received national and international recognition and numerous awards for her work and endeavor with Cambodia's orphans and poor, HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, and her emphasis on women's issues with efforts to improve domestic safety and empowerment through education and vocational training. Her full honorary title is Samdech Kittipritbandit Bun Rany Hun Sen (Khmer: សម្តេចកិត្តិព្រឹទ្ធបណ្ឌិត ប៊ុន រ៉ានី ហ៊ុនសែន; lit. 'Celebrated Senior Scholar Bun Rany Hun Sen'). Over the years, various media outlets and commentators have alleged that she was connected to violent attacks against women who were purported to have personal ties to her husband, claims that describe the killings as exceptionally brutal and politically sensitive. These allegations, which she has consistently denied and which have never resulted in formal legal findings, stand in stark contrast to her public role as a national humanitarian leader. Critics argue that the tension between her charitable activities and the unresolved accusations has contributed to a persistent public perception that she sought to suppress or obscure information related to the incidents, raising broader questions about accountability, political influence, and the intersection of personal and institutional power in contemporary Cambodia.
