In the fictional universe of J. R. R. Tolkien, Ar-Zimrathôn (2798 - 3033 S.A., r. 2962 - 3033 S.A.) was the 21st ruler of Númenor. Like his father Ar-Adûnakhôr, Ar-Zimrathôn opposed the Valar, and he took his name in the Adûnaic tongue rather than in the traditional Quenya. But Númenorean scholars recorded his Quenya name Tar-Hostamir so as to not offend the Valar. His name in both languages means "Jewel Gatherer", perhaps implying a greedy nature.
Ar-Zimrathôn ruled Númenor for seventy-one years, and was succeeded by his son, Ar-Sakalthôr.
