There have been two baronetcies created for members of the Peto family, both in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. As of 2014, both creations are extant.
The Peto baronetcy, of Somerleyton Hall in the County of Suffolk, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 22 February 1855[1] for the entrepreneur and Liberal politician Samuel Morton Peto. He was a railway contractor and also represented Norwich, Finsbury and Bristol in the House of Commons.
The Peto baronetcy, of Barnstaple in the County of Devon, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 27 January 1927[2] for the Conservative politician Basil Peto. He sat as Member of Parliament for Devizes and Barnstaple. Peto was the seventh son of the first Baronet of the 1855 creation.
