This is a list of the kings of Pamplona (Iruña in Basque), later Navarre. Iruña, name of the capital, was used as the only or main name of the kingdom until the period of the dominion of Aragón (1076-1134). However, the territorial designation Navarre came into use as an alternative name in the late 10th century, though it was used much less often. Aragonese kings created a county named Navarre in the central areas of the kingdom of Pamplona. When the country regained its independence, from 1134 onwards, the name Navarre was the main designation of the kingdom.

In 1620, the Kingdom was merged into France; however, the French kings continued to use the title King of Navarre until 1791, and it was revived again from 1814 to 1830 during the Bourbon Restoration.

The Bourbon Carlist pretenders to the throne of Spain had Spanish Navarre as a stronghold during the Carlist Wars, but their claim was to all the Spanish royal titles in general.

Monarchs and pretenders following the traditional succession

If the monarchy of Navarre had remained separate from that of France and retained its traditional male-preference primogeniture succession laws, its monarchs/pretenders would be as follows:

Current claimants

• Princess Alicia of Bourbon-Parma, Dowager Duchess of Calabria is the current claimant of the Kingdom of Navarre in accordance with its fundamental feudal succession order, as evidenced by her son and heir's official website
• Louis Alphonse, Duke of Anjou is the current claimant of so-called Blancs d'Espagne to the kingdoms of France and Navarre. His Navarrese claim is based on the alteration of succession order to be restricted in accordance with Salic Law effectuated by Louis XIII.
• Juan Carlos I, the reigning king of Spain (which is the current country to where most of the territories of historical Navarre belong), uses the title King of Navarre as part of his more extended titulary, inherited from earlier monarchs of Spain (Castile and Aragon).
