Duchess of Palma de Mallorca was a substantive title in the Peerage of Spain. The title takes its name from the city of Palma de Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands.
The royal dukedom was granted on 26 September 1997 by King Juan Carlos I to his younger daughter, Infanta Cristina, on the occasion of her forthcoming marriage to Iñaki Urdangarin.
In April 1998, the City Council of Palma de Mallorca renamed one of its principal streets 'La Rambla' as "La Rambla dels Ducs de Palma de Mallorca" (). That same year, the Duchess and the Duke were granted the Golden Medal of the Balearic Islands.
In 2013, the City Council renamed the street to its original name and, in 2018, the regional government of the islands revoked the Golden Medal to Urdangarin.
On 11 June 2015, she was stripped of her dukedom by King Felipe VI, her younger brother, due to a corruption inquiry, and the dukedom was merged again in the Spanish Crown.
