This is a list of present Viscounts in the Peerages of England, Scotland, Great Britain, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. Note that it does not include those still-extant viscountcies which have become merged (either through marriage or elevation) with more elevated peerages and are today only seen as subsidiary titles. For a more complete list, which adds these "hidden" viscounties as well as extinct, dormant, abeyant, and forfeit ones, see List of Viscountcies.

The general order of precedence among Viscounts is:

  1. Viscounts of England
  2. Viscounts of Scotland
  3. Viscounts of Great Britain
  4. Viscounts of Ireland created before 1801
  5. Viscounts of the United Kingdom and of Ireland created after 1801
