The Beecham Baronetcy, of Ewanville in the Parish of Huyton in the County Palatine of Lancaster, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 17 July 1914 for the Lancashire pill manufacturer Joseph Beecham. Joseph was succeeded by his eldest son, Thomas, a conductor who founded the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 1932.
The 4th and 5th Baronets were absent from the Official Roll and, As of 2023[update], the title is considered dormant.[2]
