Lord Banff is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created on 31 August 1642 for Sir George Ogilvy, 1st Baronet.

He was a Cavalier and member of the Parliament of Scotland. On his death the title passed to his elder son, the third Lord. He was a supporter of the Union between England and Scotland. He was succeeded by his son, the fourth Lord. Two of his sons, the fifth and sixth Lords, succeeded in the title. The latter was a Captain in the Royal Navy.
