Typhoon Rammasun (disambiguation)
The name Rammasun has been used to name three tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by Thailand, which means the 'god of thunder'.

- Typhoon Rammasun (2014) (T1409, 09W, Glenda), a Category 5 super typhoon that impacted the Philippines and China during mid-July, which warranted retirement of the name
The name Rammasun was later retired during the 2015 annual session the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. The replacement name will not be chosen until the 2016 season.
