List of dukes in the peerages of Britain and Ireland

This is a list of present and extant dukes in the peerages of the Kingdom of England, Kingdom of Scotland, Kingdom of Great Britain, Kingdom of Ireland, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 1927 and after. For a more complete historical listing, including extinct, dormant, abeyant, forfeit dukedoms in addition to these extant ones, see List of dukedoms in the peerages of the British Isles.

Order of precedence
The general order of precedence among dukes is:
 * 1) Dukes in the Peerage of England, in order of creation
 * 2) Dukes in the Peerage of Scotland, in order of creation
 * 3) Dukes in the Peerage of Great Britain, in order of creation
 * 4) Dukes in the Peerage of Ireland created before 1801, in order of creation
 * 5) Dukes in the Peerage of the United Kingdom and Dukes in the Peerage of Ireland created after 1801, in order of creation


 * Notes:


 * The Sovereign's Grace may accord any peer higher precedence than his date of creation would warrant.
 * The royal dukes are Dukes of the United Kingdom; but they rank higher in the order of precedence than the age of their titles would suggest, due to their close relationship to the monarch. The Prince of Wales holds precedence above all dukes, royal and non-royal and is the Duke of Cornwall and of Rothesay.
 * Dukes in the Peerage of Ireland whose dukedoms were created after 1801 yield precedence to earlier created Dukes of the United Kingdom. However, only one dukedom in this category is still extant, the dukedom of Abercorn.
 * In the peerage of England, the title of Duke was created 74 times (using 40 different titles: the rest were recreations). Twice a woman was created a Duchess in her own right (but only for life). Out of the 74 times, 37 titles are now extinct (including the two women), 16 titles were forfeit or surrendered, 10 were merged with the crown, and 10 are extant (see list below). The last, Cornwall, is a title that automatically goes to the heir apparent (if and only if he is also the eldest living son of the Sovereign). One of the duchies that was merged into the crown, Lancaster, still provides income to the sovereign. All but one of the titles became extinct before 1800 (only the Duke of Leeds became extinct in 1964). The last English dukedom to be forfeit became so in 1715.
 * The original six titles created between 1337 and 1386 were Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Lancaster, Duke of Clarence, Duke of York, the Duke of Gloucester, and the Duke of Ireland. The Duke of Ireland was a title used for only two years and is somewhat confusing since only a small portion of Ireland was really under the control of England in 1386; it is not to be confused with the dukedoms of the peerage of Ireland. Clarence has not been used since 1892 when Victoria's grandson (and son of the Prince of Wales) died at the age of 28.  The titles of Duke of York and the Duke of Gloucester have both become extinct more than once and been re-created as titles within the peerage of the United Kingdom. Both titles are reserved for princes (and their descendants).
 * On 29 September 1397, in an unprecedented move six dukedoms were created on a single day. None of these titles is extant.
 * Besides the dukedom of Cornwall, the oldest extant title is that of Duke of Norfolk, dating from 1483. The Duke of Norfolk is considered the Premier Duke.
