Baron Banbury of Southam, in the County of Warwick, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1924 for the businessman and Conservative politician Frederick George Banbury. He was head of Frederick Banbury and Sons, stockbrokers, and also represented Peckham and the City of London in the House of Commons. Banbury had already been created a Baronet, of Southam in the County of Warwick, in 1902. As of 2007 the titles are held by his great-grandson, the third Baron, who succeeded his father in 1981.
