Duke of Camiña (Spanish: Duque de Camiña) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain accompanied by the dignity of Grandee, granted in 1619 by Philip III to a Portuguese aristocrat, Miguel de Meneses, 2nd Duke of Vila Real in the peerage of Portugal.[2]

The title makes reference to the town of Caminha, Portugal, and was granted originally by Philip III as a title of Portuguese nobility, as he was also king of Portugal. When the two countries were separated, Philip IV of Spain recognised the Dukedom of Camiña as a title in the peerage of Spain.
