Zarmayr Haykazuni (Armenian: Զարմայր Հակազնունի) was a legendary Armenian partriarch and 29th king of Armenia (1192 BC—1180 BC). Zarmayr took part in the Homeric conflicts against Troy, and was killed during the Trojan war by an arrow from the bow of Achilles.
From the Armenian historian Mikayel Chamchian we can learn that Zarmayr was successor of Horo.
Zarmayr proved a warlike and successful prince. He engaged in several wars with the neighbouring powers, and greatly raised the glory of the Armenian name. During his reign happened the famous siege of Troy, and as he was an ally of the besieged people, he went to their assistance with a large body of troops, and fell in an encounter with Achilles, in the twelfth year of his reign, and in the year of the world 2818, or, according to the Septuagint, 4017.
