Extinct baronetcy in the Baronetage of England

The Wortley Baronetcy, of Wortley in the County of York, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 29 June 1611 for Francis Wortley, who later sat as member of parliament for East Retford and supported the Royalist cause in the Civil War. The title became extinct on the death of the second Baronet in 1665.

The family seat was at Wortley Hall, near Barnsley, Yorkshire.
