Bhisadej Rajani (Thai: ภีศเดช รัชนี; rtgsPhisadet Ratchani; complete title: His Serene Highness Prince (Mom Chao) Bhisadej Rajani; born 20 January 1920) is a prince of Thailand, a member of the Thai royal family, and a member of the House of Rajani, a royal house which was originated by his father and descends from Chakri Dynasty. He is one of the longest-living royal personages in the Thai history. He is a close-friend of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. He is an author and works as the president of the royal projects for the king. He is also a descendant of Siamese Vice-King Pinklao.

Prince Bhisadej Rajani was born on 20 January 1920. He is the youngest son of Prince Rajani Chamcharas, the Prince Bidyalongkorn (son of Prince Yodyingyos, the Prince Bovorn Vichaichan) and Mom Chao Barabimalabanna Vorawan (daughter of Prince Vorawannakara, the Prince Naradhip Prabandhabongs). He is the great-grandson of the Vice-King Pinklao. He is the younger brother of Princess Vibhavadi Rangsit, the Queen Sirikit's lady-in-waiting and famous royalty author, who was killed in the helicopter by insurgents while visiting soldiers.

He graduated from Debsirin School and continued his education at Dulwich College in England where he played rugby, tennis and squash. Running many races in a day, young Prince Bhisadej finally won the Victor Ludorum gold medal (a Latin word for a winner of the games) at the annual Thai students in the U.K. meeting. During World War II, he joined the British Army in 1943 as a soldier and British spy; he was trained to walk up the hills with a rifle and heavy back pack. He trekked along the Himalayan Mountains for two weeks with an army from Darjeeling Hill Station in India to a trade route of Nathula Pass in Tibet. After the tough army training, he engaged the underground resistance movement activities against Japanese called Free Thai during the War. After the war, he came back to Thailand and worked as an officer in the Border Patrol Police in their schools along the northern Thai border for a few years.
