The Harington Baronetcy, of Ridlington in the county of Rutland, is a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 29 June 1611 for James Harington. He was a descendant of John Harington, one of the Barons summoned to Parliament by Edward II. James's elder brother was John Harington, 1st Baron Harington of Exton (see the Baron Harington of Exton for further history of this branch of the family). The second Baronet was a Royalist. The third Baronet was a Major-General in the Parliamentarian Army during the Civil War and one of the judges appointed to try Charles I, although he refused to sit. He was nonetheless excepted from the Indemnity and Oblivion Act and his title was forfeited for life in 1661. The ninth and twelfth Baronets were both judges.
