Gelimer, King of the Vandals and Alans (530–534), was the last Germanic ruler of the North African Kingdom of the Vandals. He became ruler on 15 June 530 after deposing his first cousin twice removed, Hilderic using the pretext of his defeat against the Moorish Chieftain Antalas of the Frexes tribe also Hilderic had angered the Vandal nobility by converting to Chalcedonian Christianity so they promptly went against him, as most of the Vandals at this time were fiercely devoted to Arian Christianity.

The Vandal Kingdom or Kingdom of the Vandals and Alans was a confederation of Vandals and Alans, which is one of the barbarian kingdoms established under Gaiseric, a Vandal warrior. It ruled in North Africa and the Mediterranean from 435 to 534 AD.
