Duke of Almódovar del Río (Ducado de Almodóvar del Río) is a hereditary ducal title in the Spanish nobility which holds a Grandeeship of Spain. It was conferred on 11 July 1780 on Pedro Jiménez de Góngora, 6th Marquess of Almodóvar del Río, by King Charles III of Spain, thus raising to a dukedom the Marquessate of Almodóvar del Río. This title had been granted to Francisco Jiménez de Góngora y Castillejo by King Charles II of Spain, on 13 May 1667. Historically, the title corresponds to dominion over the area around Almodóvar del Río.
