Baron Cornwallis is a British peerage title. It was first created in the Peerage of England in 1661. The fifth Baron was created an Earl in 1753. In 1792, the second Earl was created a Marquess. At the death of the second Marquess, the marquessate became extinct; at the death of the fifth Earl, the earldom and barony both became extinct.

The barony was next created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1927 and is still extant.
