Rodrigo Figueroa y Torres (24 October 1866 – 1 June 1929) was a Spanish politician during the Restoration and Civil Governor of Madrid in 1909.

He studied medicine but is best known for being a politician and a wide-ranging artist, especially as a sculptor, winning various mentions in Fine Arts Exhibitions. He was thus a truly versatile person, with interests in sculpture, painting, diplomacy, and even holding the noble title of Duke of Tovar.
