Viscount of Oxfuird is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. The Peerage of Scotland is the division of the British Peerage for those peers created in the Kingdom of Scotland before 1707. It was created in 1651 for James Makgill along with the subsidiary title of Lord Makgill of Cousland, with remainder to his "heirs male of tailzie and provision whomsoever".

However, on the death of the first Viscount's son, the second Viscount, the Lordship and Viscountcy were assumed (wrongfully according to a 1977 decision by the House of Lords) by his daughter Christian, as heir of tailzie and provision.

He was the eldest son of Sir James Makgill (d. 1661), grandson of Sir James Makgill (d. 1579), great-uncle of the first Viscount of Oxfuird. His son, the fourth Viscount, attempted to prove his claim, but was unsuccessful. Thereafter, the matter was generally left alone.

However, according to the decision by the Committee for privileges the rightful descent of the titles was to have been as follows. On the death of the fourth Viscount the claim passed to his kinsman John Makgill, the de jure fifth Viscount. He was the grandson of Reverend John Makgill, third son of the aforementioned Sir James Makgill (d. 1661). His younger son George Makgill, the de jure seventh Viscount, fought in the Jacobite army of Bonnie Prince Charles, was attainted but later pardoned.

Since all Viscounts in the Peerage of Scotland use "of" in their titles, all of them should use the word "of".

The title Viscount of Arbuthnott was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1641 along with the title Lord Inverbervie, for Sir Robert Arbuthnot

The title of the Viscountcy is pronounced "Oxfurd".
