Krishna Prasad Bhattarai (Nepali: कृष्णप्रसाद भट्टराई; 13 December 1924 – 4 March 2011) also known as Kishunji was a Nepalese political leader. He was the Interim Prime Minister from 1990 to 1991 when the country was moving away from having a monarchy to support democratic multi-party system. He later became the 29th prime minister in 1999 and left office a year later.

Bhattarai died at Norvic International Hospital in Godawari Municipality, Nepal from kidney and congestive heart failure caused by bronchitis on 4 March 2011, aged 86.[1][2]
