Baron St Helens is a British peerage title that has been created three times.

It was first created in the Peerage of Ireland in 1791 for the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Alleyne Fitzherbert, who was granted another barony of the same name in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1801. At his death, both baronies became extinct. In 1964, the barony was created again when the Conservative politician Lieutenant-Colonel Michael Henry Colin Hughes-Young was made Baron St Helens, of St Helens in the County Palatine of Lancaster. He had earlier represented Wandsworth Central in the House of Commons. It was one of the last hereditary baronies ever created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
