Aegnor (Years of the TreesFirst Age 455) was a Elf, a son of Finarfin and lord of the Ñoldor.

Aegnor is the elder brother of Galadriel and younger brother of Finrod Felagund and Angrod. Together with Angrod he held the highlands of Dorthonion against Morgoth. Aegnor and Angrod were both slain in the Dagor Bragollach.

Aegnor never married. He was in love with the Bëorian woman Andreth, but because it was wartime did not make his intentions towards her clear, and was killed soon after.

The name Aegnor is a Sindarized form of his Quenya name Aikanár or Aikanáro, meaning Sharp-flame, apparently given with regards to his character.
