Faenius Rufus', Roman senator, praefectus annonae, 55-62AD. Tacitus reports that (unlike most holders of that office) he did not profit from it. With Tigellinus, he succeeded Burrus as praetorian prefect in 62. In 65, however, he was executed for his part in Gaius Calpurnius Piso's plot against the emperor Nero.
