ABSTRACT=<p>We introduce a new class of renormalizable models for dark matter with a minimal particle content, consisting of a dark <italic>SU</italic>(2)<sub>D</sub> gauge sector connected to the standard model through a vector-like fermion mediator, not requiring a Higgs portal, in which a massive vector boson is the dark matter candidate. These models are labeled fermion portal vector dark matter (FPVDM). Multiple realizations are possible, depending on the properties of the vector-like partner and scalar potential. One example is discussed in detail. Fermion portal vector dark matter models have a large number of applications in collider and non-collider experiments, with their phenomenology depending on the mediator sector.</p>
