The Winnington Baronetcy, of Stanford Court in the County of Worcester, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 15 February 1755 for Edward Winnington, subsequently Member of Parliament for Bewdley. The second Baronet represented Droitwich in the House of Commons and the third Baronet Droitwich, Worcestershire and Bewdley. The fourth Baronet sat as Liberal Member of Parliament for Bewdley. The fifth Baronet was High Sheriff of Worcestershire in 1894.

Three other members of the family have also gained distinction[citation needed]. Charles William Winnington-Ingram (1850-1923), grandson of Reverend Edward Winnington-Ingram, second son of the second Baronet, was a Rear-Admiral in the Royal Navy. His son Reginald Pepys Winnington-Ingram was Professor of Greek at the University of London. Herbert Frederick Winnington-Ingram, youngest son of the aforementioned Reverend Winnington-Ingram, second son of the second Baronet, was also a Rear-Admiral in the Royal Navy.
