Halmir is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He is introduced in The Silmarillion as a Man of the Second House of the Edain in the First Age.

He was the Chieftain of the Folk of Haleth. Halmir was the son of Haldan and had four children: sons Haldir and Hundar, and daughters Hareth and Hiril. Haldir and Hareth were wedded to Glóredhel and Galdor the Tall respectively, children of Hador of the Third House.

Halmir was lord of the Folk of Haleth when Morgoth renewed his war against the Elves and their allies, the Edain, in the Dagor Bragollach, and it is said that the deeds of his people were remembered with honour. They lived in the north of Beleriand, in the forest of Brethil, and were at first untouched by the war; but Orcs came after Minas Tirith was taken, and yet the Men of Brethil would not relinquish their homes, and Halmir sent word to Thingol King of Doriath, as he had friendship with the Elves that guarded the realm. Thingol sent him Sindarin Elves with axes, led by Beleg Strongbow, and together with the forces of Halmir they defeated the Orcs. The latter did not dare cross the River Taeglin afterwards, and the People of Haleth lived in watchful peace in Brethil, and Nargothrond had respite.
