The title of Viscount Howard of Bindon in the Peerage of England was held by three members of the Howard family between 1559 and 1610. It was created for Thomas Howard, the second son of the Duke of Norfolk and Elizabeth Stafford, daughter of the Duke of Buckingham. His two sons succeeded him as second and third viscounts; as neither had any male children, the title became extinct in 1611.
Theophilus Howard, KG (August 13, 1584, Walden, Essex – June 3, 1640) was an English nobleman and politician.
