The Colleton Baronetcy, of London, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 18 February 1661 for John Colleton, in reward for his support for the Royalist cause during the Civil War. The second Baronet represented Bossiney in Parliament. The title became extinct on the death of the ninth Baronet in 1938.
