'''Duchess of Palma de Mallorca''' was a [[substantive title]] in the [[Spanish nobility|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 of Spain|King]] [[Juan Carlos I]] to his younger daughter, [[Infanta Cristina of Spain|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''" ({{Langx|en|La Rambla of the dukes of Palma de Mallorca}}). That same year, the Duchess and the Duke were granted the Golden Medal of the Balearic Islands.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Tchernokojev |first=Peter |date=2018-09-14 |title=Balears retira definitivamente la Medalla de Oro a Urdangarin |url=https://cadenaser.com/emisora/2018/09/14/radio_mallorca/1536925816_263916.html |access-date=2023-10-15 |website=cadena SER |language=es-ES}}</ref>

In 2013, the City Council renamed the street to its original name<ref>{{Cite web |last=Internet |first=Unidad Editorial |title=La Rambla deja de ser de los duques de Palma con el cambio de placas |url=https://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2013/02/08/baleares/1360320259.html |access-date=2023-10-15 |website=www.elmundo.es |language=es}}</ref> and, in 2018, the regional government of the islands revoked the Golden Medal to Urdangarin.<ref name=":0" />

On 11 June 2015, she was stripped of her dukedom by [[Felipe VI of Spain|King Felipe VI]], her younger brother, due to [[Nóos case|a corruption inquiry]], and the dukedom was merged again in the [[Monarchy of Spain|Spanish Crown]].<ref>[http://www.europapress.es/nacional/noticia-rey-revoca-uso-titulo-duquesa-palma-hermana-dona-cristina-20150611225212.html {{in lang|es}} "The King revokes the title of Duchess of Palma used by his sister doña Cristina".
