Mundzuk (or Mundzuc or Mundiuch ) was a tribal leader of the Huns in the early 5th century. He was the father of Bleda and Attila .
In contrast to his brothers Rua and Oktar , in the case of Mundzuk it is uncertain what position he occupied among the Huns, although he may have exercised a partial rule like his brothers. Mundzuk is only rarely mentioned in the sources, so that the year of his death is also unknown, although it is likely to be in the first quarter of the 5th century. After his death, Rua took care of Mundzuk's sons, who then succeeded Ruas in 434/35.
