- William Willoughby Cole, 1st Earl of Enniskillen
William Willoughby Cole, 1st Earl of Enniskillen (1 March 1736-22 May 1803), known as Lord Mountflorence from 1767 to 1776 and as Viscount Enniskillen from 1776 to 1789, was an Irish peer.
Enniskillen was the son of John Cole, 1st Baron Mountflorence. He succeeded his father as second Baron Mountflorence in 1767 and took his seat in the Irish House of Lords. In 1776 he was created Viscount Enniskillen and in 1789 he was even further honoured when he was made Earl of Enniskillen. Both these titles were in the Peerage of Ireland. Lord Enniskillen died in May 1803, aged 67, and was succeeded in his titles by his son John.
