The title Baron Montagu or Montacute' was created five times in the Peerage of England.

The first creation was for John de Montacute who was summoned to parliament on 29 December 1299. The third baron was created Earl of Salisbury in 1337. On the death of the third earl, both titles became forfeit under attainder in 1400. Both titles were restored for the heir Thomas Montagu, 4th Earl of Salisbury in 1421. On his death, the barony was inherited by his daughter Alice, who was married to Richard Neville. After the death of their eldest son Richard Neville, the Kingmaker, the barony either fell into abeyance or became dormant in 1471. In 1485, it was resored to Edward Plantagenet, but he was attainted and the peerages forfeited again in 1499, when he died. In 1513, his sister Margaret was restored to the barony. When she was restores to the earldom of Salisbury in 1529, her son became the eleventh Baron Montacute, but he also was created Baron Montagu by writ of summons in 1529. Both baronies became forfeited at the attainder of the latter and his mother in 1539.

The second creation was for Edward de Montacute who was summoned to parliament on 25 February 1342. He was succeeded by his daughter Joan de Montacute, 2nd Baroness Montacute, who was married to the William de Ufford, 2nd Earl of Suffolk and had no chioldren. At her death the barony became extinct.

The third creation was for John de Montacute who was summoned to parliament on 15 February 1357. His successor (his son?) succeeded in the earldom of Salisbury in 1397 with which title it then merged. Either it had the same fate as the first creation, or it has stayed forfeited since 1400, 1471 or 1499.

The fourth creation was for John Neville, younger brother of the Kingmaker. John Neville was summoned to parliament on 23 May 1461. He was created Marquess of Montagu in 1470. At his death in 1471, both titles became forfeit under his attainder.

As mentioned above, there was a fifth creation in 1529 that became forfeit under attainder.
