The Boileau Baronetcy, of Tacolneston Hall in the County of Norfolk, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 24 July 1838 for John Boileau.

He was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Northamptonshire Regiment and the Royal Field Artillery and a Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant for Norfolk. He died childless and was succeeded by his first cousin, the fifth Baronet. He was the son of Edmund William Pollen Boileau, younger son of the first Baronet.
