Duke of Atrisco (Spanish: Duque de Atrisco) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, accompanied by the dignity of Grandee and granted in 1708 by Philip V to José Sarmiento de Valladares, for his services as viceroy of New Spain.[2][3]

The 1st Duke married the 3rd Countess of Moctezuma, granddaughter of Pedro Tesifón de Moctezuma, who in turn was a great-grandson of Moctezuma II, so, in this way, the Dukes of Atrisco were relatives of the Aztec emperor.

The name makes reference to the city of Atlixco, one of the three existing lordships in New Spain in 1708.
