Template:Royalty infobox Aravir (T.A. 2156 - 2319, died aged 163) was the fourth Chieftain of the Dúnedain, following his father, Aranuir, upon his death in 2247.

As far as we know, Aravir's rule was uneventful, except for the usual skirmishes with orcs. Aravir died in 2319, after having been Chieftain for seventy-two years) and was followed by his son Aragorn I (after whom Aragorn Elessar was named).
