King Ramiro of León
- Born: Cir 900
- Marriage (1): Adosinda Gutierrez
- Died: 1 Jan 951 aged about 51
 General Notes:
Initially titular king only of a lesser part of Asturias, he gained the crown of León (and with it, Galicia) after his brother Alfonso IV abdicated in 931. The scant Anales castellanos primeros are a primary source for his reign.
Ramiro was the creator of a Navarrese/Leonese coalition that defeated the Muslims in the Battle of Simancas (939). This victory allowed the advance of the Leonine border of the Duero to the Tormes.
In the last years of his reign, he could not avoid Castilian independence under the direction of Fernán González of Castile, but still in 950 he launched an expedition to the valley of the Edge and defeated the Muslims at Talavera.
Ramiro married Adosinda Gutierrez, daughter of Gutier Osoriz and Ildonzia Menendez.
