The Barrington Baronetcy, of Barrington Hall in the County of Essex was created in the Baronetage of England on 29 June 1611, for Francis Barrington, member of parliament (MP) for Essex.[1][2]

His son, the 2nd Baronet, sat in the House of Commons for Newtown, Essex and Colchester.[3] The 3rd Baronet was also MP for Newtown.[4] He died in 1683, and was succeeded by his grandson, who died in turn unmarried in 1691.

The latter's younger brother, the 5th Baronet, was MP for Essex.[5] He died childless in 1715 and the baronetcy went to a son of the younger son of the 3rd Baronet. The 7th Baronet sat for Newtown for 48 years.[6] Since his marriage was without children, he was succeeded by his younger brother. The latter's son, the 9th Baronet, was also MP for Newtown.[7] He died childless in 1818, and his younger brother became the next baronet. After the death of the 10th Baronet in 1832, the baronetcy became extinct.
