Mairen (born Second Age 377) was the third child and only daughter of Tar-Amandil, the third King of Númenor. Her eldest brother would take up the Sceptre as Tar-Elendil. Almost nothing is known of her life.

Mairen's name is difficult to translate, but may be Quenya for "Maiden of the Gulls" (from maiwë = "gull" and -wen = "maiden").
