The title Earl of Harewood (pronounced "Harwood") was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1812.

The Earl bears the subsidiary titles of Viscount Lascelles (1812) in the Peerage of the UK and Baron Harewood (1796) in the Peerage of Great Britain.

The 6th Earl married Princess Mary, daughter of King George V, and thus the present earl is a first cousin to The Queen.

The family seat is Harewood House near Leeds.
