Lord Balvaird is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created the 17th of November 1641 for Sir Andrew Murray, who was at that time also the feudal Lord of Balvaird. Before receiving that title, he was knighted by Charles the First in Scotland during his coronation in 1633. His son, the second Lord, succeeded as fourth Viscount Stormont in 1658, according to a special remainder in the letters patent.
