Duke of Victoria de las Amezcoas (Spanish: Duque de la Victoria de las Amezcoas) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, accompanied by the dignity of Grandee and granted posthumously in 1836 by carlist pretender to the throne Infante Carlos as Charles V to Tomás de Zumalacárregui, captain general of the Carlist army, along with the Countship of Zumalacárregui.[2][3]

The title makes reference to the military victories of Zumalacárregui, particularly in the Amezcoas region of Navarre. Although it was originally granted as "Duke of la Victoria" (duque de la Victoria), Francisco Franco added the suffix "de las Amezcoas" in 1955 to distinguish it from the existing Dukedom of la Victoria, which had been granted in 1839 by Isabella II to Zumalacárregui's enemy, Baldomero Espartero.
