The Pickthorn Baronetcy, of Orford in the County of Suffolk, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 31 January 1959 for the Conservative Party politician Kenneth William Murray Pickthorn. A former President of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, he was Member of Parliament (MP) for Cambridge University from 1935 to 1950, and for Carlton from 1950 to 1966.
