Baronius Press is a traditional Catholic book publisher with headquarters in London, England. It was originally founded in Glasgow in 2003 and takes its name from Cardinal Cesare Baronius. Its logo is a beretta, which together with a cassock forms the traditional image of a Catholic priest.

The main objective of Baronius Press was to raise the quality of traditional Catholic books in order to make them more appealing to a wider audience. Baronius Press aimed to achieve this goal by retypesetting classic Catholic books (rather than republishing facsimiles), and binding them using high quality coverings, such as real leather. The advantages of retypesetting are clearer text and the ability to use modern layouts.

The first book published by Baronius Press was a new edition of the Douay Rheims Bible. This was significant because no digitally typeset edition had been previously released. A pocket edition and a Psalms and New Testament edition subsequently followed.

In 2005 Baronius Press published a new 1962 missal, with an imprimatur from Bishop Fabian Wendelin Bruskewitz, for use at the traditional Roman mass. This was the first missal intended for use at traditional mass to be published in more than 35 years. Although beaten to publication by Angelus Press, which brought out a new edition of the 1962 missal several months earlier, Baronius actually started work on the project before Angelus. Later that year, with the aim of expanding its range, Baronius released a series of leatherbound Catholic classics. By the end of 2006, the company had over 40 titles in print, with the release of a new paperback series of Christian Classics.

Baronius is currently working on editions of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Roman Breviary, both of which will conform to the editio typica of the Breviary of 1960.
