Duke of Tetuán (Spanish: Duque de Tetuán) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, with the dignity of Grandee and granted in 1860 by Queen Isabella II to General Leopoldo O'Donnell, 1st Count of Lucena, who had served as the Prime Minister of Spain for several legislatures between 1856 and 1866.
It is a victory title, and was granted to O'Donnell for his victory at the Battle of Tétouan during the First Moroccan War.
It has been held since its creation by members of the O'Donnell family, as the 5th Duchess, Blanca O'Donnell, died without issue of her marriage to Guillermo Pelizaeus.
