'''Earl Canning''' was a title in the [[Peerage of the United Kingdom]]. It was created in 1859 for the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] politician and then [[Viceroy of India]], [[Charles Canning, 1st Earl Canning|Charles Canning, 2nd Viscount Canning]]. He was the third and youngest son of the noted politician [[George Canning]], [[Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs|Foreign Secretary]] from 1807 to 1809 and from 1822 to 1827, and [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]] and [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom]] in 1827. In 1828 George Canning's widow [[Joan Canning, 1st Viscountess Canning|Joan]] was raised to the Peerage of the United Kingdom in honour of her husband as '''Viscountess Canning''', of Kilbraham in the County of Kilkenny, with remainder to the heirs male of her body by her late husband. Lady Canning was the daughter of Major-General [[John Scott (British Army officer)|John Scott]].<br />
<br />
The first Earl Canning was childless and on his death in 1862 both titles became extinct.<br />
<br />
Two other members of the Canning family also gained distinction. [[Stratford Canning, 1st Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe]], and [[George Canning, 1st Baron Garvagh]], were both first cousins of George Canning.<br />
