Duke of Primo de Rivera
The Dukedom of Primo de Rivera (Spanish: Ducado de Primo de Rivera) was a hereditary title in the Spanish nobility. The dukedom was posthumously bestowed on José Antonio Primo de Rivera, founder of the Falangist movement, by General Francisco Franco as head of the Spanish State.

It was abolished in October 2022, under the purview of the Law of Democratic Memory.
