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. 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.

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