Valencia County (Spanish: Condado de Valencia) is a county in the U.S. state of New Mexico. The county seat is Los Lunas.
Valencia County is included in the Albuquerque, NM Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The county, which was formerly much larger in area, lost almost 81 percent of its territory (and with it its mineral localities) on 19 June 1981, upon the creation of Cibola County, which occupies the westernmost portion of Valencia County's former area.
