Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox hereditary title The Rycroft Baronetcy, of Calton in the County of York, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 22 January 1784 for Reverend Richard Rycroft. Born Richard Nelson, he was the only surviving son of John Nelson, and had assumed by Royal sign-manual the surname of Rycroft in lieu of his patronymic in 1758.

Two other members of the family may also be mentioned. Sir William Henry Rycroft, second son of the fourth Baronet, was a Major-General in the British Army. The second son of the fifth Baronet was the psychoanalyst Charles Rycroft.
