The Seymour, later Culme-Seymour Baronetcy, of High Mount in the County of Cork and Friery Park in the County of Devon, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 31 May 1809 for the naval commander Admiral Michael Seymour.[1] The second Baronet assumed the additional surname of Culme, which was that of his first wife. The third Baronet was also an admiral in the Royal Navy and notably commanded the Channel Squadron from 1890 to 1892 and the Mediterranean Fleet from 1893 to 1896. The fourth Baronet was a vice admiral in the Royal Navy.

The Culme-Seymour baronets are members of a junior branch of the Seymour family headed by the Duke of Somerset (see Seymour family). The family surname is pronounced "Cullum-Seamer".
