Runa Pradhan ( Nepali: रुना प्रधान) (born December 5, 1984) is a Nepalese former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.

[3] She challenged six other swimmers in heat two, including Cambodia's two-time Olympian Hem Raksmey and Maldives' 13-year-old Fariha Fathimath. She scorched the field to race for the third seed in 31.28, cutting off her lifetime best and a Nepalese record by 0.42 seconds.
