The Khmer Rumdos (Khmer: ខ្មែររំដោះ), also spelt Khmer Rum or Khmer Rumdoh ("Liberation Khmer" in the Khmer language), were one of several groups of guerrillas operating within the borders of Cambodia during the Cambodian Civil War of 1970–1975. They were a part of the National United Front of Kampuchea (Front Uni National du Kampuchea, FUNK), an association between Prince Norodom Sihanouk, who had been ousted from power in 1970, and communist forces.
