There have been four baronetcies created for members of the ancient House of Beaumont, all in the Baronetage of England. All four creations are extinct.

The Beaumont Baronetcy, of Coleorton in the County of Leicester, was created in the Baronetage of England on 17 September 1619 for Thomas Beaumont. In 1622 he was raised to the peerage as Viscount Beaumont of Swords. For more information on this creation, see this title.

The Beaumont Baronetcy, of Grace Dieu in the County of Leicester, was created in the Baronetage of England on 31 January 1627 for the poet John Beaumont of Grace Dieu Manor. He was the son of Francis Beaumont, Member of Parliament for Aldborough, a descendant of Thomas Beaumont, son of Sir Thomas Beaumont (d. 1457), younger son of John Beaumont, 4th Baron Beaumont (see the Baron Beaumont). Thomas's brother John Beaumont was the ancestor of the first Baronets of the 1619 and 1661 creations (see below). The first Baronet was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Baronet. He fought in the Civil War as a Colonel in the Royalist Army and was killed in action during the Siege of Gloucester in 1643. On his death the title passed to his younger brother, the third Baronet. He had no sons and on his death in 1686 the baronetcy became extinct.

The dramatist Francis Beaumont was the brother of the first Baronet.

The Beaumont Baronetcy, of Whitley in the County of York, was created in the Baronetage of England on 15 August 1628 for Richard Beaumont, Member of Parliament for Pontefract. He never married and the title became extinct on his death in 1631.
