Johannes Buns (before 1640 – after 1673), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
Biography According to Houbraken who repeated the verses of the poets Pieter Rixtel of Haarlem and Johannes Blasius, he was a good portrait painter. Houbraken did not see any of his works. He was known for his portraits and a portrait of an unknown woman dated 1667 has been registered to him. The University of Amsterdam's ECARTICO project suggests he was the brother of the priest and composer Benedictus Buns, alias Benedictus a Sancto Josepho (1643–1716), who was born in Geldern.
