The Schwann, later Swann Baronetcy, of Prince's Gardens in the Royal Borough of Kensington, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 16 July 1906 for Charles Swann, Liberal Member of Parliament for Manchester North from 1886 to 1918. He was the son of Frederick Schwann, a German merchant who had emigrated to England. Born Charles Schwann, he assumed by Royal licence the surname of Swann in lieu of his patronymic in 1913. The second Baronet represented Hyde in the House of Commons from 1906 to 1909.
