'''Ricimer''' (c. [[405]] – [[Agosto 18]], [[472]]) ({{pronEng|ˈrikimer}}), foi un xeral xermánico que governou o [[Imperio Romano Occidental]] durante parte do [[século V]].
Ricimer foi [[ariano]], fillo dun príncipe [[suevo]]. Súa nai era filla de [[Wallia]], rei dos [[visigodos]]. Pasou a súa xuventude na corte de [[Valentiniano III]], onde se distingueu no exército ás ordes de [[Flavius Aëtius]], Valentinian's ''[[magister militum]]'' da parte occidental do Imperio Romano.

In [[457]], Ricimer set up [[Majorian]] as his own emperor in the West and induced Leo to give his consent. However, Majorian proved to be a capable ruler and soon became uncomfortably independent. Majorian was defeated (possibly by treachery) by Geiseric near the modern city of [[Valencia, Spain]], while trying to organize an expedition against him, in [[461]]. Ricimer then forced him to abdicate and caused his assassination on [[August 7]], [[461]]. The successor whom Ricimer placed upon the throne was [[Libius Severus]], who proved to be more docile than Majorian, but had to face the disapproval of Leo in the East and rivalry of [[Aegidius]] in Gaul. Upon Libius Severus' death in [[465]] — said to be due to poisoning by Ricimer — this emperor-maker ruled the West for eighteen months without an emperor.
