Númendil (died Second Age c. 3065) was the 17th Lord of Andúnië, suceeding his father upon his death. He was a leader of the Faithful, and was a friend of Tar-Palantir, the last King of Númenor to abide by the will of the Valar. It can be assumed that Númendil was a member of the Royal Council and an important Lord of Númenor. Though the name of his father is not known, his grandfather was Eärendur, the 15th Lord of Andúnië.
Nùmendil was the father of Elentir1 and Amandil. It was Amandil, his younger son, that succeeded him as Lord of Andúnië. Amandil would later become the father of Elendil, the founder of the kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor.

Notes
- Elentir was a character developed but never fully adapted into the formal history of Númenor. In one version of the story of Ar-Pharazôn, his future wife Míriel, the daughter of the current king, was betrothed to Elentir. However, she fell desperately in love with Pharazôn and chose to become his queen when he took up the Sceptre of Númenor. This story is very different than the tale in the published Silmarillion, where Ar-Pharazôn takes Míriel very much against her will in order to claim the Sceptre. In either case, Elentir disappeared before Nùmendil died, leaving Amandil as the Lord of Andúnië.
