Faenius Rufus, a Roman senator, was praefectus annonae from AD 55 to 62. Tacitus reports that (unlike most holders of that office) he did not profit from it. With Tigellinus, he succeeded Sextus Afranius Burrus as praetorian prefect in AD 62. Rufus had a close association with Agrippina the Younger.In 65, however, he was executed for his part as a member of the Pisonian conspiracy against the Emperor Nero.
