Marquess of Bristol is a title in the peerage of the United Kingdom held by a member of the Hervey family since 1714. Prior to that year, they held the title of Earl of Bristol. (The title of Earl of Bristol was previously held by the Digbys.)

The Marquess's subsidiary titles are: Earl of Bristol (created 1714), Earl Jermyn, of Horningsheath in the County of Suffolk (1826), and Baron Hervey, of Ickworth in the County of Suffolk (1703). The Barony is in the Peerage of England, the Earldom of Bristol in the Peerage of Great Britain and the Earldom of Jermyn in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The title Earl Jermyn is the courtesy title of the Marquess' eldest son and heir.

The Herveys lived at the Ickworth estate since the 15th century. On the death of the 5th Marquess, it was given to the National Trust in lieu of death duties.
