Marquess of Priego (Spanish: marqués de Priego) is a hereditary noble title of the Kingdom of Spain that Ferdinand the Catholic granted on 9 December 1501 to Pedro Fernández de Córdoba y Pacheco, 7th Lord of Aguilar in Córdoba, of the house of Córdoba.[2] It is one of the most important noble titles in Spain, and was made a first class grandee in 1520 by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.

The name comes from the Andalusian municipality of Priego de Córdoba in the province of Córdoba.

The Marquessate of Montalbán belongs to the same noble house, and both titles today are held by the House of Medinaceli.
