Lord Elphinstone is a title in the Peerage of Scotland created by King James IV in 1510.
His son, the thirteenth Lord, served as a Scottish Representative Peer from 1833 to 1834 and from 1847 to 1849, and he was also Governor of Bombay and of Madras.
However, this title became extinct on his death in 1860 while he was succeeded in the lordship by his first cousin, the fourteenth Lord.
When he died the following year, this line of the family also failed and he was succeeded by his second cousin, the fifteenth Lord.
As of 2022[update], the titles are held by the latter's son, the nineteenth Lord, who succeeded in 1994 at the age of fourteen.
