There have been two [baronetcies](/source/Baronetage_of_England) created for persons with the surname **Butcher**, both in the [Baronetage of the United Kingdom](/source/Baronetage_of_the_United_Kingdom). Both are extinct.

- The **Butcher Baronetcy**, of [Danesfort](/source/Danesfort) in the [County of Kerry](/source/County_of_Kerry), was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 28 June 1918 for [John Butcher](/source/John_Butcher,_1st_Baron_Danesfort), the [member of parliament](/source/Member_of_parliament) (MP) for the [City of York](/source/City_of_York_(UK_Parliament_constituency)).[1] He was subsequently ennobled as **Baron Danesfort**, and the baronetcy was merged with that title. Both titles became extinct on the death of the first Baronet in 1935.
- The **Butcher Baronetcy**, of [Holland](/source/Holland,_Lincolnshire) in the [County of Lincoln](/source/County_of_Lincoln), was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 22 July 1960 for [Herbert Walter Butcher](/source/Herbert_Butcher), the member of parliament for [Holland with Boston](/source/Holland_with_Boston_(UK_Parliament_constituency)).[2] The title became extinct on the death of the first Baronet in 1966.
