Earl Annesley (pronounced "Anns-ley"), of Castlewellan in the County of Down, is a title in the Peerage of Ireland that created on 17 August 1789 for the 2nd Viscount Glerawly with special remainder to his younger brother Richard, who succeeded him as 2nd Earl.
The title Viscount Glerawly, in the County of Fermanagh had been created on 20 September 1758, and the title Baron Annesley, of Castlewellan in the County of Down, had been created on 14 November 1766. Both had been created for the 1st Earl's father, William, who was the sixth son of Hon. Francis Annesley, fourth son of the 1st Viscount Valentia. Consequently, the present holder of the Earldom of Annesley is also in remainder to the Viscountcy of Valentia and its subsidiary titles.
