The Kingdom of Cambodia,; french: Royaume du Cambodge also known as the First Kingdom of Cambodia,; french: Premier royaume du Cambodge and commonly referred to as the Sangkum period,; french: Période de la communauté socialiste populaire refers to Norodom Sihanouk's first administration of Cambodia from 1953 to 1970, an especially significant time in the country's history.
