The Fleming, later le Fleming Baronetcy, of Rydal in the County of Westmorland, is a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 4 October 1705 for William Fleming, Member of Parliament for Westmorland. The second Baronet was Bishop of Carlisle. The third Baronet represented Cumberland in the British House of Commons. The fourth Baronet was Member of Parliament for Westmorland.
