Baron Merthyr, of Senghenydd in the County of Glamorgan, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1911 for the Welsh coal mining magnate Sir William Thomas Lewis. He had already been created a Baronet, of Nantgwyne, in the County of Glamorgan, in 1896. The barony is named after the town of Merthyr Tydfil, where Lewis was born. His great-grandson, the fourth Baron, disclaimed the peerage for life on April 26, 1977, three weeks after succeeding his father. He does not use his title of Baronet either.
