Extinct baronetcy in the Baronetage of England This article is about the two baronets called Sir Roger Beckwith and their two successors. For the English church historian and liturgist, see Roger T. Beckwith. For for the actor of (at first) German, and later American, nationality, see Roger Beckwith (actor).

The Beckwith Baronetcy, of Aldborough in the County of York, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 15 April 1681 for Roger Beckwith. The second Baronet was High Sheriff of Yorkshire between 1706 and 1707. The third Baronet was a merchant in Virginia and Clerk of the County of Richmond (and the grandfather of the trapper and businessman James Beckwourth). The title became either extinct or dormant on the death of the fourth Baronet.
