The Romney family, prominent in U.S. politics and other professions, most known for its connection with George Romney (born, 1907, Colonia Dublán, Galeana, Chihuahua, Mexico; died, 1995, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan) 43rd governor of Michigan (1963–1969) and his son, Mitt Romney, 70th governor of Massachusetts. George Romney's father was Gaskell Romney (born, 1871, St. George, Utah; died, 1955, Salt Lake City, Utah), and his mother was Anna Amelia Pratt. Anna's grandfather was renowned early Mormon leader Parley Parker Pratt.

Based upon the family's heritage going back to the first Mormon generation and to their modern-day prominence in business, politics, and as part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, authors Richard and Joan Ostling have written variously that the Romneys are "an LDS political dynasty" and that "The Romneys are LDS royalty." The family is linked by marriage to the Smith family, and has a lateral relationship with the Matheson family, the Huntsman family, and the Eyring family. A branch of the Romneys reside in the Mormon colonies in Mexico. The Romney family emigrated to the United States from Dalton-in-Furness, England in the 1840s.
