Leke baronets

There have been two baronetcies created for members of the Leke family, both in the baronetage of England.

The baronetcy of Leke of Sutton was created on 22 May 1611 for Francis Leke, of Sutton, Nottinghamshire who was later advanced as Baron Deincourt in 1628 and Earl of Scarsdale in 1645.
