The Duchy of Saxe-Römhild was one of the Saxon Duchies held by the Ernestine line of the Wettin Dynasty. Established in 1680 for Heinrich, fourth son of Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Gotha. The line became extinct after the childless death of the duke in 1710 and his lands were disputed between his brothers. Eventually, Römhild was retained by his younger brother, Johann Ernst.
Incorporated into Saxe-Coburg and Saxe-Saalfeld (later rename Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld in 1735)
