Viscount Barrington, of Ardglass, was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1720 (along with the subsidiary title Baron Barrington, of Newcastle) for the lawyer, theologian and politician John Shute Barrington. The seventh Baron was created Baron Shute in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1880, with remainder to his younger brother Percy. The titles became extinct on the death of the eleventh Viscount in 1990.
