Tar-Anárion (1003 - 1404 S.A., r. 1280 - 1394 S.A.) was the eighth ruler of Númenor, succeeding his mother, Tar-Ancalimë. His name means "Sun-son" or "Child of the Sun".

Little is said about Tar-Anárion's rule. His two eldest children were female, but both declined the throne for uncertain reasons, and they disliked and feared Ancalimë, who would refuse to let them marry. Therefore he was succeeded by his son, Tar-Súrion.
