Duke of Nochera (Spanish: Duque de Nochera; Italian: Duca di Nocera) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, accompanied by the dignity of Grandee. Originally styled "Duca di Nocera", it was granted in 1656 by Philip IV to Francisco de Moura Corterreal, Viceroy of Sardinia and Catalonia and governor of the Spanish Netherlands.[2][3] The title made reference to the town of Nocera dei Pagani, in the Kingdom of Naples, subjected to Spain at the time.
