Corry Baronets

The Corry Baronetcy, of Dunraven in the County of Antrim, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 10 September 1883 for James Corry, Conservative Member of Parliament for Belfast and Armagh Mid. The second Baronet was a Director of the Cunard Steamship Company. As of 2007 the presumed fifth and present Baronet has not successfully proven his succession and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant.

The Corry family is of Scottish descent but settled near Newtownards, County Down in the early 17th century. The title's reference to "Dunraven" is derived from the first baronets residence on the Malone Road, Belfast.
