Barsaman Pun, also known by his nom de guerre Ananta, is a Nepali communist politician and former Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation.

Pun has previously served as Minister of Finance and Minister of Peace and Reconstruction. He was a leader of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist-Centre) during the insurgency period and served as one of the 4 deputy commanders of the Nepali People's Liberation Army.

He commanded the attack on Holeri police station on February 13, 1996 which marked the beginning of the civil war. He was appointed as the PLA Eastern Division commander following the 2002 central committee meeting. Some of the battles he commanded in this capacity include the attack at Bhiman, Sindhuli in September 2002 which led to the death of 49 policemen and the attack on Bandipur barracks in May 2005. He was appointed as a deputy commander of People's Liberation Army at the Chunbang conference in 2005.

Following the Second People's Movement and Comprehensive Peace Accord, Pun transitioned into politics. He was elected to the first Constituent Assembly from Lalitpur-1. He contested the second Constituent Assembly from Morang in line with the party policy of top Maoist leaders contesting the election from the Terai belt. However, he came in third place behind then Congress District Chairman Dig Bahadur Limbu and CPN-UML candidate Ghanashyam Khatiwada. He contested the 2017 House of Representatives election from his home district, Rolpa and was elected to parliament.

MCC began developing the compact at the request of Nepal in 2012 when Baburam Bhattarai was prime minister and Barsaman Pun was finance minister of Nepal.

The compact was taken to parliament for ratification on 15 July 2019 when KP Sharma Oli was prime minister and Barsaman Pun the energy minister.

He is married to Onsari Gharti Magar, a fellow communist politician and former speaker of the Parliament of Nepal.
