A viscount (/ˈvknt/ VY-kownt, for male[1]) or viscountess (/ˈvkntɪs/, for female[2]) is a title used in certain European countries for a noble of varying status. The status and any domain held by a viscount is a viscountcy.

In the case of French viscounts, the title is sometimes left untranslated as vicomte [vi.kɔ̃t].
