The title of Earl of Cottenham was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1850 for Lord Cottenham, the outgoing Lord Chancellor. The title is derived from the village of Cottenham in Cambridgeshire, birthplace of John Pepys, ancestor of Charles Pepys, the 1st Earl.
The Earl bears the subsidiary titles of Viscount Crowhurst (1850) and Baron Cottenham (1836), both in the Peerage of the UK, and holds two baronetcies, one in the baronetage of Great Britain (1784) and one in that of the UK (1801).
