Vardamir Nólimon (61 - 471 S.A., r 442 S.A.) is a fictional character of Middle-earth, the fictional universe created by J. R. R. Tolkien. His first name means "Jewel of Varda" and his surname, "Most-learned". He was the oldest child of Elros Tar-Minyatur, and heir to the Kingship of Númenor and was noted as an exceptional scholar whose only desire was to study, not to rule. When Elros died, Vardamir immediately abdicated in favour of his son, Tar-Amandil. He was counted as the second King of Númenor, having nominally ruled for a single year. He died in year 442 of the Second Age, aged 410 years.
He had four children:
- Tar-Amandil, eldest son who would succeed his father
- Vardilmë, daughter
- Aulendil, son
- Nolondil, son
