The Cambodia Baptist Union (CBU, also known as the Cambodian Baptist Convention [1]) is a national cooperative association of Baptist churches in Cambodia.

In 1994, the Baptists co-founded the Evangelical Fellowship of Cambodia (EFC) and in 1997, a Baptist Federation was created uniting churches that were planted by Southern Baptists and independent Baptists [4] and co-founded the Kampuchea Christian Council in August 1998.[5]
