In the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, the Calaquendi (singular Calaquend) are the Elves of Light, those who dwelt in Valinor. Another name for them is Amanyar, "Those of Aman". They include the Vanyar, Ñoldor, and those Teleri who passed over Belegaer, as well as the Sindarin king Thingol alone of all his people.
Those Elves who did not come to Valinor during the Great Journey are called the Úmanyar, meaning "Not of Aman".
