Trans-bun and dove is a 16-cell strict still life consisting of a bun and a dove stabilising each other. It is one of seven ways in which a bun and a dove can be arranged to create a still life, and one of the six which have two separate islands.

This specific isomer is named trans due to the two inducting faces not being skewed from each other, and the "denser" parts of each island are roughly on opposite sides.

It is the 106th most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than mango with block on dock but more common than rotated house. It is the 6th most common still life with 16 cells, being less common than cis-mirrored wing but more common than cis-mirrored long bookend.

All strict still lifes with a population of 23 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 35 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
