Bünyan is a municipality and district of Kayseri Province, Turkey. Its area is 1,210 km2, and its population is 29,704 (2022).
== History == Evidence that the history of Bunyan is very old can be understood from the existing caves and ruins in the villages near the district. It is understood that it dates back to the Hittites from 4000-1200 BC. It was Turkified during the Anatolian Seljuk State, which experienced Iranian, Assyrian and Roman cultures. The region was annexed to the lands of the Ottoman Empire by Yavuz Sultan Selim in 1515.
