In the [[fantasy world]] of [[J. R. R. Tolkien]], '''Nimloth''', [[Sindarin]] for "white blossom"<ref>Source: Robert Foster, ''[[The Complete Guide to Middle-earth]]''.</small></ref>, was the name of the White Tree of [[Númenor]]. Nimloth was a seedling of [[Celeborn]], which was a seedling of [[Galathilion]], which was created by [[Yavanna]] in the image of [[Telperion]], one of the [[Two Trees]] of Valinor.
When the Númenóreans came under the influence of [[Sauron]], they cut down Nimloth as a sacrifice to [[Morgoth|Melkor]]. [[Isildur]] saved one of the fruits of the tree and planted it in [[Minas Tirith]], capital of [[Gondor]], on the very top tier.
Nimloth was also the name of the daughter of [[Galathil]], son of [[Galadhon]], son of [[Elmo (Middle-earth)|Elmo]]. Elmo is the brother of [[Olwë]] and [[Elwë]]. Nimloth later married [[Dior (Middle-earth)|Dior]] the Beautiful, her second cousin once removed. Her children were [[Eluréd]], [[Elurín]] and [[Elwing]]. She was known also as Lady Lindis.
She was later slain in the [[Kinslaying]] of [[Menegroth]].
