D'Oyly Baronets

The D'Oyly Baronets were three baronetcies created for persons with the surname D'Oyly, two in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. One creation is extant as of 2008.

The D'Oyly Baronetcy, of Shottisham in the County of Norfolk, was created in the Baronetage of England on 29 July 1663 for William D'Oyly, a supporter of the Royalist cause in the Civil War and Member of Parliament for Great Yarmouth and Norfolk. The D'Oyly family was descended from Robert d'Ouilly, who came over to England with William the Conqueror. An ancestor of the first Baronet, Sir Henry D'Oyly (d. 1564), was Sheriff of Suffolk. The second Baronet was a Teller of the Exchequer. The sixth Baronet was Member of Parliament for Ipswich. The seventh Baronet was an administrator in India and amateur artist. The ninth Baronet was a Major-General in the Bengal Army and served in the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

The D'Oyly Baronetcy, of Chislehampton in the County of Oxford, was created in the Baronetage of England on 7 June 1666 for John D'Oyly, Member of Parliament for Woodstock. The title became extinct on the death of the fourth Baronet in 1773.

The D'Oyly Baronetcy, of Kandy in Ceylon, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 29 August 1821 for the colonial administrator John D'Oyly. The title became extinct on his death in 1824.
