Raminas B'nargin Dalmasca, or simply King Raminas is a non-playable character from Final Fantasy XII. He is the father of Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca, and the King of the Dalmascan empire when the game begins.

During the opening sequence, Raminas oversees his daughter's marriage to Rasler Heios Nabradia, forging alliance between Dalmasca and Nabradia. When the Archadian Empire begins its attack, Raminas and Rasler plan their strategy for protecting both kingdoms. However, after Rasler is lost in the war, Archadia takes Nalbina Fortress and Raminas agrees to surrender to Archadia.

A peace treaty was established, but after Raminas signed, he was killed by Gabranth who posed as his twin brother, Basch. Basch was arrested and reported to have been sentenced to death. With Archadia's newound authority, Ashe is forced into hiding and announced by Ondore to have committed suicide.

Raminas reportedly also had eight sons. However, they all succumbed to illness or war, leaving Ashe to sole heir to the Dalmascan throne.
