A '''Tolkienist''' is someone who studies the work of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]: this usually refers to students of the [[Elvish]] languages.

A Tolkienist can also be described as a hard-core fan of Tolkien's work, one who studies the work with the same amount of interest (or more) that others study non-fictional subjects. Many fans prefer this term, as it is not limited to ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. As with the term [[Ringers|Ringer]], there is no group consensus on this designation.
 
There are also other, less widely used terms describing Tolkien fans, such as '''Tolkienites''', '''Tolkienophiles''' or '''Tolkiendili''' (an Anglo-[[Quenya]] compound). A very early term which was never widely adopted was '''LotRians'''.
