We extend standard path-integral techniques of bosonization and duality to the setting of noncommutative geometry. We start by constructing the bosonization prescription for a free Dirac fermion living in the noncommutative plane R_\theta^2. We show that in this abelian situation the fermion theory is dual to a noncommutative Wess-Zumino-Witten model. The non-abelian situation is also constructed along very similar lines. We apply the techniques derived to the massive Thirring model on noncommutative R_\theta^2 and show that it is dualized to a noncommutative WZW model plus a noncommutative cosine potential (like in the noncommutative Sine-Gordon model). The coupling constants in the fermionic and bosonic models are related via strong-weak coupling duality. This is thus an explicit construction of S-duality in a noncommutative field theory.
