Bunny Reuben (1926 – 15 February 2007) was an Indian film historian, journalist, and publicist. He wrote several books, both fiction and non-fiction. He started his career as a film-focusing journalist in the 1940s, and worked for several publications, including Filmfare. According to Randhir Kapoor, a son of the actor Raj Kapoor, whose biography Reuben wrote, "It is a great loss to the RK family and the film industry.
