List of earls in the peerages of Britain and Ireland

This is a list of the 189 present earls in the Peerages of England, Scotland, Great Britain, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. It does not include extant earldoms which have become merged (either through marriage or elevation) with marquessates or dukedoms and are today only seen as subsidiary titles. For a list including these "hidden" earldoms as well as extinct, dormant, abeyant, and forfeit ones, see List of earldoms.
