The Kingdom of Viguera was a short-lived pocket kingdom around the Navarrese town of Viguera from 970 to 1005. It was created by the testament of García III of Pamplona for his second son, Ramiro Garcés.

On García III's death, his eldest son Sancho II inherited Navarre and immediately recognised his brother Ramiro as king in Viguera in accordance with their father's wishes. Ramiro was succeeded by his son Sancho Ramírez, in 981, but Sancho was succeeded in turn by his brother García Ramírez in 999. García left only daughters on his death and Viguera once again became part of Navarre.
