This is a list of the kings of Pamplona, later Navarre. Pamplona, name of the capital, was used as the only or main name of the kingdom until the period of the dominion of Aragón (1076-1134). However, the territorial designation Navarre came into use as an alternative name in the late 10th century, though it was used much less often. Aragonese kings created a county named Navarre in the central areas of the kingdom of Pamplona. When the country regained its independence, from 1134 onwards, the name Navarre was the main designation of the kingdom.

Current claimants

• Alice, Duchess of Calabria is the current claimant of Kingdom of Navarre in accordance with its fundamental feudal succession order, as evidenced by her son's and heir's official website ^*.

• Louis Alfonso, Duke of Anjou is the current claimant of so-called Blancs d'Espagne to the kingdoms of France and Navarre. His Navarrese claim is based on the alteration of succession order to be restricted in accordance with Salic Law effectuated by Louis XIII.

Juan Carlos I, the reigning king of Spain (which is the actual country to where most of the territories of historical Navarre belong), uses the title King of Navarre as part of his more extended titulary, inherited from earlier monarchs of Spain (Castile and Aragon).
