Summary/Abstract: The present article aims at studying the neological creation by derivation manifested in the headlines of the Spanish political press. It also seeks to discover the type of derivation that seems the most frequent and productive to create political neologisms in the discourses of Spanish political journalists. In this regard, to conduct this research, a corpus of headlines extracted from the Spanish electronic newspaper "EL PAÍS" published between 2020- 2021 was chosen, and a qualitative descriptive analysis approach is used to analyze them. Therefore, from the lexical point of view, we describe the neological units created by the derivation, analyzing their linguistic structure and discovering their meanings. And as a result of our study, it is concluded that the neological creation by the derivation has a greater presence in the headlines of the Spanish political press. It is noted the importance of using neologisms by derivation (prefixation and suffixation) that makes the political discourse argumentative and persuasive to ensure a good political communication, as well as, drawing the reader’s attention.
