The County of Cleves ({{lang-de|Grafschaft Kleve}}; {{lang-nl|Graafschap Kleef}}) was a [[comity|comital]] polity of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] in present [[Germany]] (part of [[North Rhine-Westphalia]]) and the [[Netherlands]] (parts of [[Limburg (Netherlands)|Limburg]], [[North Brabant]] and [[Gelderland]]). Its rulers, called [[counts]], had a special and privileged standing in the Empire. The County of Cleves was first mentioned in the 11th century. In 1417, the [[county]] became a [[duchy]] {{lang-de|Herzogtum Kleve}}; {{lang-nl|Hertogdom Kleef}}), and its rulers were raised to the status of [[Duke]]s. |

Its history is closely related to that of its neighbours: the Duchies of [[Duchy of Jülich|Jülich]], [[Berg (state)|Berg]] and [[Guelders]] and the [[County of Mark]]. In 1368, Cleves and Mark were united. In 1521 Jülich, Berg, Cleves and Mark formed the [[United Duchies of Jülich-Cleves-Berg]]. The territory was situated on both sides of the river [[Rhine]], around its capital [[Cleves]] and roughly covering today's [[Cleves (district)|districts of Cleves]], [[Wesel (district)|Wesel]] and the city of [[Duisburg]]. |
