The Earl of St Albans was a title that was created twice in the 17th century, both times in the Peerage of England.
First, the title was created for Richard Bourke, Earl of Clanricarde by Charles I on 23 August 1628. This creation became extinct upon the death of his son, Ulick Burke, 1st Marquess of Clanricarde, in 1657.
Second, the title was created for Henry Jermyn, Baron Jermyn by Charles II on 27 April 1660 in recognition of Jermyn's loyalty during the Interregnum. This creation became extinct upon his death in 1684.
