Marquess of Griñón (Spanish: Marqués de Griñón) is a title in the Peerage of Spain. It was created by Queen Isabella II in 1862 for María Cristina Fernández de Córdoba (1862-1917), daughter of the 6th Duke of Arión.[1] The name of the title refers to the municipality of Griñón in the Community of Madrid.

The 5th Marquess, Carlos Falcó, had held the title since 9 December 1955 and died on 20 March 2020 due to COVID-19. He was succeeded by his second daughter, Tamara Falcó, from his second wife, Isabel Preysler.[2][3][4][5]

The title lends its name to the eponymous wineries founded by the 5th Marquess in the early 70s.
