The title Viscount Brackley has been created twice; once in the Peerage of England and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The English title was created in 1616 for Thomas Egerton, 1st Baron Ellesmere. He was created Earl of Bridgewater a year later, and the viscountcy merged with the earldom. It was created in the UK in 1846 as a subsidiary title of the earldom of Ellesmere, which is held by the Duke of Sutherland.
