Lord Bargany was a special noble title created in Scotland on November 14, 1639. It was given to Sir John Hamilton of Carriden. He was the son of Sir John Hamilton of Letterick.

This title could only be passed down to the first Lord's male children and their male descendants. The title stopped being used after the death of the 4th Lord Bargany, James Hamilton, in 1736. After that, the Bargany family estate went to John Dalrymple, who then changed his name to Hamilton.
