The name Rammasun has been used to name three tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by Thailand, which means the 'god of thunder'.

  • Typhoon Rammasun (2002) (T0205, 09W, Florita), first of four storms which brought flooding to the Philippines
  • Typhoon Rammasun (2008) (T0802, 03W, Butchoy)
  • Typhoon Rammasun (2014) (T1409, 09W, Glenda), a Category 5 super typhoon that impacted the Philippines and China during mid-July, which warranted retirement of the name

    • The name Rammasun was later retired during the 2015 annual session the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. In 2016, WMO chose the name Bualoi to replace Rammasun, and is possibly to be used within the 2020-21 seasons.
