Earl of Annandale and Hartfell is a title in thePeerage of Scotland, created in 1661 for James Johnstone.

In 1625, the title ofEarl of Annandale had been created for John Murray, but it became extinct when his son James died without heirs.

James Johnstone, son of Sir James Johnstone, Warden of the West Marches, was created Lord Johnstone of Lochwood in 1633, and in 1643, was further createdEarl of Hartfell. Johnstone's son, also James, resigned the earldom and received a regrant of the title, asEarl of Annandale and Hartfell, in 1661, and a further regrant of the same title, but by crown charter, in 1662 to his heirs male of the body, whom failing, his heirs female of the body. William, the second Earl ofAnnandale and Hartfell, was createdMarquess of Annandale in 1701. At the death of the third marquess, no one could prove a claim to the peerages of either earldoms and therefore they became dormant.

The earldoms remained dormant until Patrick Hope-Johnstone's claim was approved by theHouse of Lords in 1985. TheCommittee for Privileges ruled thatCharles II's 1662 charter of regrant of lands constituted the creation of a new title. The title therefore descended through the female line in the person of Lady Henrietta Johnstone (who marriedCharles the First Earl of Hopetoun) to Patrick Hope-Johnstone.

The current earl holds the subsidiary title ofLord Johnstone (1662), in the peerage of Scotland.
