Telemnar was, in J. R. R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth, the twenty-sixth king of Gondor.

He was born in T.A. 1516.

After his father Minardil died in an attack by the Corsairs of Umbar at Pelargir in T.A. 1634 Telemnar became King.

His father's reign was brief but his own reign was even briefer. He was the shortest reigning king of Gondor.

Telemnar planned vengeance for his father's death, assembling a great fleet and army at Pelargir but in T.A. 1636 the Great Plague raged through Middle-earth and Gondor became one of the worst affected areas. Many Númenóreans died, amongst them King Telemnar and his immediate family. He was succeeded by his nephew Tarondor (the son of Telemnar's younger brother Minastan).
