Pretaapnarian Shawh Radhecheran (Pretaap) Radhakishun (1934 – 6 January 2001) was a Surinamese politician. He was Prime Minister of Suriname from July 1986 to April 1987.

Originally he was a member of VHP party, however, he switched sides to NDP of Jules Wijdenbosch. Radhakishun served as Vice President from 15 September 1996 to 12 August 2000 in the cabinet of President Jules Wijdenbosch.[1][2] Radhakishun and Wijdenbosch were defeated in the 2000 general elections by Ronald Venetiaan who led a coalition which included Radhakishun's former party. Venetiaan accused both Wijdenbosch and Radhakishun of mishandling government funds after the elections.
