Duke of San Fernando de Quiroga (Spanish: Duque de San Fernando de Quiroga) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, accompanied by the dignity of Grandee and granted in 1815 by Ferdinand VII to Joaquín José Melgarejo, 3rd Marquess of Melgarejo in the Kingdom of Naples and Mayordomo de semana of the king during his time as Prince of Asturias.
Such was the affection of king Ferdinand VII for the 1st Duke that he approved of his marriage with his cousin María Luisa de Borbón y Vallabriga, a daughter of the king's uncle, Infante Luis of Spain.
