Shipley Gordon Stuart Erskine, 14th Earl of Buchan, (27 February 1850 – 16 April 1934), styled Lord Cardross from 1857 until 1898, was a Scottish nobleman, landowner and horseman.

Biography
He was the eldest son of David Stuart Erskine, 13th Earl of Buchan and his wife, the former Agnes Graham Smith, daughter of James Smith of Craigend. He was presumably named after his great-grandfather, Major-General Sir Charles Shipley. He was educated at Harrow.

Buchan held the office of Justice of the peace and Deputy lieutenant for both Cambridgeshire and Linlithgowshire. He succeeded as the 14th Earl of Buchan, in the Peerage of Scotland, in 1898.

Buchan was Conservative in politics but spent most of his life involved in equestrian and leisurely pursuits. In 1911 he acquired 4,000 acres of farmland in Nyeri, Kenya.

Lord Cardross was a member and supporter of the antisemitic group "The Britons", donating £30 in 1922.

Buchan died on 16 April 1934 at his residence in Chelsea, London.
