The Broadbent Baronetcy, of Longwood in the Parish of Huddersfield in the West Riding of the County of York, and of Brook Street, in the Parish of St George Hanover Square in the County of London, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 10 August 1893 for the noted physician William Broadbent, personal physician to Queen Victoria.[3][4][5] The title descended from father to son until the death of his grandson, the third Baronet, in 1987. The late Baronet was succeeded by his first cousin once removed, the fourth Baronet. He was the grandson of Walter Broadbent, third son of the first Baronet.
As of 2023[update] the baronetcy is considered dormant.[1]
