The Orr-Lewis Baronetcy, of Whitewebbs Park in the parish of Enfield in the County of Middlesex, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 12 February 1920 for the Canadian businessman Frederick Orr-Lewis. The title became extinct on the death of his only son Duncan, the second Baronet, in 1980.
Frederick Orr-Lewis owned the 100 hectares (250 acres) estate of Whitewebbs Park in Enfield. In 1931, his son Duncan sold the estate to the County Council, which constructed a public golf course on the property. The Estate House, which dates to 1791, is now a public restaurant and two estate lodges remain.
