The Leon Baronetcy, of Bletchley Park in Bletchley in the County of Buckingham, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 5 July 1911 for Herbert Leon, a financier and Liberal Member of Parliament for Buckinghamshire North from 1891 to 1895. The third Baronet was married to the actress Kay Hammond. Their son, the fourth Baronet, is an actor known as John Standing.
