Fraomar (Latin: Fraomarius) was briefly the king of the Bucinobantes, an Alemannic tribe, from 370 to 371.

In 370, the Roman emperor Valentinian I attacked the Alemanni with the help of the Burgundes and took their king, Macrian, prisoner. Fraomar was set up in his place, but the Bucinobantes would not accept him and Macrian had eventually to be released and the Alemanni made a pact with Rome.
