In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, Turambar was a name of Túrin, a tragic hero from the First Age. It means "master of fate" in the Sindarin language and was chosen by Túrin in defiance of the curse placed upon his family by Morgoth.


Turambar was also the ninth King of Gondor.

He was the son and successor of Rómendacil I and came young to the throne of Gondor.

He avenged the death of his father by conquering large parts of Rhovanion from the Easterlings. He was the longest reigning king since Meneldil

He ruled for 126 years and was succeeded in 667 T.A. by his son Atanatar I
