Earl Kitchener, of Khartoum and of Broome in the County of Kent, is a peerage title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was bestowed in 1914 upon Field Marshal Horatio Kitchener, who had previously been created Baron Kitchener, of Khartoum and of Aspall in the County of Suffolk, in 1898 and Viscount Kitchener, of Khartoum and of the Vaal in the Colony of Transvaal and of Aspall in the County of Suffolk, in 1902. The titles Viscount Broome, of Broome in the County of Kent, and Baron Denton, of Denton in the County of Kent, were granted along with the Earldom.
Lord Kitchener's Barony was granted with a remainder to his heirs male; since he died without issue, the title became extinct upon his death. The later titles, however, were created with a special remainder that allowed them to pass to his brother, which they did.
