The Dudley baronetcy, of Clopton in the County of Northampton, was created in the Baronetage of England on 1 August 1660 for William Dudley. He was High Sheriff of Northamptonshire that year, and was briefly Member of Parliament for Northampton in 1663.[1][2] The 2nd Baronet represented both Northampton and Huntingdonshire in Parliament.[3]

The title became extinct on the death of the 3rd Baronet in 1764.[1]
