Duke of Riánsares (Spanish: Duque de Riánsares) is a hereditary title of Spanish nobility, accompanied by the dignity of Grandee. It was created on 23 June 1844 by Queen Isabella II in favor of Agustín Fernando Muñoz y Sánchez, second husband of the Queen Mother, Maria Christina of the Two Sicilies.
The name refers both to the Riánsares River, which runs near the town of Tarancón in the province of Cuenca, where the grantee was from, and to the Virgin of Riánsares, patron saint of said town of which the Queen Mother was very devoted.
