Count of Yebes (Spanish: Conde de Yebes) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, granted in 1649 by Philip IV to Juan Esteban Imbrea, Lord of Yebes and Valdarachas, knight of the Order of Calatrava.[2]

The title was unofficially held by Imbrea's descendants in Genoa, who never paid the inheritance taxes in the peerage of Spain. Thus, the title became vacant for more than two centuries until it was rehabilitated in 1922 by Alfonso XIII to the most legitimate descendant, Álvaro de Figueroa, 1st Count of Romanones, who was Prime Minister of Spain in 1912.
