Best Answer

No, Sauron is.

Addendum:

This is explicitly stated in Rivendell. After Frodo recovers from his shoulder wound, he is greeted as "the Lord of the Ring" by Pippin. Gandalf, who is also present, immediately rebukes Pippin for using that term and states that the only lord of the ring is Sauron. Frodo might be able to resist the power of the ring, but ultimately, he could never master the One Ring.

Glorfindel is an Elven Lord from a house of princes, however, he is not the most powerful elf, and not the lord of all Elves.

The highest ranking elves mentioned in The Lord of the Rings are probably Elrond, Galadriel, and Celeborn.

No, Gandalf was not an elf. He is a Maia, a spirit sent to Middle Earth by the Valar in the Undying Lands, to help the people fight against Sauron. He, and the four others sent were sometimes known as Istari or Wizards.

No, Gandalf isn't the Lord of the Rings. That title belongs to the dark lord Sauron.
