The title of Earl of Lonsdale has been created twice - first in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1784 (becoming extinct in 1802), and then in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1807, both times for members of the Lowther family.

The Earl bears the subsidiary titles of Viscount Lowther (1797) and Baron Lowther (1797), both in the Peerage of Great Britain, and is a baronet of Great Britain (1764).
