Count of Dehesa de Velayos (Spanish: Conde de la Dehesa de Velayos), commonly known as Count of Velayos is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, granted in 1709 by Philip V to Fernando de Torres, governor of Potosí in the Viceroyalty of Peru.

At the death of the 5th count, the title became vacant until Alfonso XIII rehabilitated it on behalf of Luis de Figueroa y Alonso-Martínez, son of the Count of Romanones and a descendant of the last count.
