Baron Blood is the name of several fictional supervillains appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Created by Roy Thomas and Frank Robbins, the original incarnation first appeared in The Invaders #7 (July 1976), a second incarnation created by Thomas and Jackson Guice appeared in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme volume 3, #10 (Dec. 1989), and further incarnations, including a female version called Baroness Blood, were created by Ben Raab and John Cassaday for Union Jack #1-3 (December 1998-February 1999), based on characters originally created by Roger Stern and John Byrne for Captain America volume 1 #253 (January 1981).

Roy Thomas and Frank Robbins featured the original Baron Blood, John Falsworth, in The Invaders #7-9 (July–October 1976); in the story flashbacks show him being turned into a vampire by Dracula on a trip to Transylvania and joining the German forces for World War I and World War II, while in the present day he stays at Falsworth Manor under the guise of his own son plotting to kill his niece, Jacqueline Falsworth, to get revenge against his elder Brother, Lord Falworth, until he is killed by Captain America.

Roger Stern and John Byrne gave Falsworth a false identity as Dr. Jacob Cromwell for Captain America volume 1 #253-254 (January–February 1981); in the story, which features the first appearance of his successors Kenneth Crichton and Lilly Cromwell, he is defeated and killed by Captain America and new Union Jack Joey Chapman. Falsworth made a brief reappearance in Tom DeFalco's Avengers Annual #16 (1987); in the story he is one of a group of villains brought back from the dead to battle the Avengers.
