Baron Hothfield, of Hothfield in the County of Kent, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1881 for Sir Henry James Tufton, 2nd Baronet, of Appleby, who was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Westmorland the same year and who also served briefly in the Liberal administration of 1886 as a Government Whip. He was the son of Richard Tufton, who in 1851 had been created a Baronet, of Appleby in the County of Westmorland, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.
