The title of Marquess Curzon of Kedleston was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1921 for the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Earl Curzon of Kedleston. The title became extinct upon his death four years later.
The Marquess bore the subsidiary titles of Earl Curzon of Kedleston (1911), Viscount Scarsdale (1911), and Baron Ravensdale (1911) in the Peerage of the UK, as well as Baron Scarsdale (1761) in the Peerage of Great Britain (inherited in 1916), and Baron Curzon of Kedleston (1898) in the Peerage of Ireland.
Upon the Marquess's death, all of the Curzon titles became extinct. The viscountcy and barony of Scarsdale were inherited by his heir-male, a nephew, while the barony of Ravensdale was inherited by his eldest daughter.
