This article is about the sword. For the inland sea, see Sea of Ringil.

Ringil was the sword of Fingolfin, said to have glittered like ice. With it he wounded Morgoth seven times in single combat after the Dagor Bragollach.

Ringil was also the name of the great tower in the far south that held the Lamp Ormal during the Years of the Lamps. In the early legendarium, its destruction was said to have created the Sea of Ringil.
