In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth Ciryandil is the fourteenth King of Gondor and the third Ship-king.
He succeeded his father Eärnil I in 936 T.A. He continued Eärnil's naval policies and spent his life long defending the recently captured port of Umbar against the Black Númenóreans who had lived there before, and the Haradrim who wished to capture the port.
In 1015 T.A. after a reign of 79 years he was slain while Umbar was besieged. He was succeeded by his son Ciryaher (also known as Hyarmendacil).
