Baron Addington, of Addington in the County of Buckingham, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom that was created on 22 July 1887 for the businessman and Conservative politician John Hubbard. He was head of the firm of John Hubbard & Co and also sat as a MP for Buckingham from 1858 to 1868 and for the City of London from 1874 to 1887.

The title instead passed to their cousin, the 5th Baron. He was the grandson of Hon. Cecil John Hubbard, third son of the 1st Baron. The present holder of the peerage is his eldest son, the 6th Baron. He is one of the ninety elected hereditary peers who remain in the House of Lords after the House of Lords Act of 1999.
