The Dukes of Osuna (es: Duque de Osuna) are nobility and Grandees of Spain. The fortunes of the town of Osuna’s started to rise in the mid-15th century. At that time Osuna was lorded over by Alfonso Tellez-Giron, 1st Count of Ureña. The dynasty’s influence increased, and in 1562 King Philip II of Spain granted the 5th Count of Ureña the title of Duke of Osuna. Osuna became the Andalusian capital of the domains of the Téllez-Girón family, who carried the ducal title.

Some of the most famous members of the House of Osuna were Don Pedro Téllez-Girón, 3rd Duke of Osuna, who was a general and viceroy of Naples. He became known in history as "Great Duke of Osuna".
