The Meux baronetcy, of Theobald's Park in the County of Hertford, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 30 September 1831 for Henry Meux, head of Meux's Brewery. There was a family connection to the Meux baronets of Kingston (1641).[2]
The 2nd Baronet sat as member of parliament for Hertfordshire from 1847 to 1859.[3] The title became extinct on the death, childless, of the 3rd Baronet in 1900.[2]
