The Dukedom of Alcalá de los Gazules or Ducado de Alcalá de los Gazules is a Spanish title of nobility established by order of King Philip II of Spain in 1558 and granted to of the House of Ribera in recognition for services rendered to the crown. The title holds dominion and lordship over what is roughly the area of Alcalá de los Gazules in the Province of Cádiz.

The territory of the Dukedom was a part of the Kingdom of Granada until 1264 when it was won by King Alfonso X of Castile. The Granadans had named the castle and its surrounding lands the Qalat at Yazula, Arabic for Castle of the Gazules from which its Spanish name is derived.
