Pharamond (c. 370 - c. 430) is considered to be the first king of the Salian Franks, though he is possibly a legendary rather than historical figure. He was possibly a son or son-in-law of Marcomer.

Only historians Prosper Tiro and Dom Bouquet have written about his reign at a much later date. In 420, he reportedly led his people across the Rhine River heading west. This movement effectively separated his tribe from the majority of the Ripuarian Franks who had settled near Cologne. Pharamond was eventually succeeded by his son Clodio. His wife was Argotta.
