Rómendacil I was the eighth King of Gondor in J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth.

Rómendacil was born in TA.310 as Tarostar, the son of King Ostoher. As crown prince, he rode against the Easterlings and defeated them. After the victory he renamed himself to Rómendacil, meaning "East-victor", under which name he succeeded his father in 492 T.A. He was also resposible for the building of the Argonath. However, his hard-won peace was not to last forever: fifty years later, in 541 T.A., the Easterlings invaded once again, and he rode to meet them in battle but was slain.

He was succeeded by his son Turambar.
