Beren is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. In The Lord of the Rings, he is the nineteenth Ruling Steward of Gondor.

Beren was born in T.A. 2655 and succeeded his father Egalmoth as Steward in 2743. He spent much of his reign fighting the Corsairs of Umbar on southern Gondor. During the Long Winter Rohan came under attack from the Dunlendings, but as both realms were under attack neither could help the other until the following year. Therefore when Saruman suddenly appeared and requested leave to dwell in Isengard, Beren gladly gave the Wizard the keys to Orthanc.

Beren died in 2763 and was succeeded by his son Beregond.
