Tar-Telperiën (Second Age 1320 – 1731, aged 411 years) was the tenth ruler of Númenor and its second Ruling Queen, reigning for 175 years, from Second Age 1556 until her death.

During her rule in Númenor, momentous events were taking place in Middle-earth; the Rings of Power were forged, Ost-in-Edhil was destroyed, and the War of the Elves and Sauron began. It was left to Tar-Telperiën's successor, Tar-Minastir, to react to these events.
