Nelson baronets

Sir James Hope Nelson, 2nd Baronet (1883–1960) and his wife circa 1913

There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Nelson, both in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Both creations are extant as of 2010.

Nelson baronets, of Acton Park (1912)

The Nelson Baronetcy, of Acton Park in Acton in the County of Denbigh, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 5 February 1912 for William Nelson, Chairman of Nelson Line Ltd, of Liverpool, and of the Nelson Steam Navigation Company. As of 2006 the presumed fourth holder of the title has not successfully proven his succession to the baronetcy and is consequently not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant.

Nelson baronets, of Hilcote Hall (1955)

The Nelson Baronetcy, of Hilcote Hall in the County of Stafford, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 11 July 1955 for Sir George Nelson. In 1960 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Nelson of Stafford.
