Khmer Serei (bahasa Khmer: ខ្មែរសេរី [kʰmae seːrəj]; "Khmer Bebas") adalah sebuah pasukan gerilya anti-komunis dan anti-monarkis yang dibentuk oleh nasionalis Kamboja Son Ngoc Thanh. Pada 1959, ia menerbitkan 'Manifesto Khmer Serei' mengklaim bahwa Sihanouk mendukung 'komunisasi' Kamboja.[1] Pada 1960an, Khmer Serei bertumbuh dalam hal jumlah, berharap menjadi pasukan pejuang dan politik yang besar.

Tujuan utama Khmer Serei adalah untuk mendestabilisasikan kekuasaan yang berdiri dan dipegang oleh pemimpin Kamboja saat itu, Raja Norodom Sihanouk dan menggulingkan kekuasaannya – dan menjadi bagian permanen dari politik Kamboja.[2]
