There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Waller, one in the Baronetage of Ireland and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. One creation is extant as of 2019.

The Waller Baronetcy, of Newport in the County of Tipperary, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 1 June 1780 for Robert Waller, Member of the Irish Parliament for Dundalk and a Commissioner of Revenue. The second Baronet served as High Sheriff of King's County in 1826. As of 1 August 2018 the present Baronet was entered into the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with effect from 12 December 2000.[1] He lives in USA.

The Waller Baronetcy, of Braywick Lodge in the County of Berkshire, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 30 May 1815 for Wathen Waller,[2][3] Groom of the Bedchamber to William IV. Born Wathen Phipps, he was the son of Joshua Phipps and his wife Anne, daughter of Thomas Waller, and assumed by sign-manual in 1814 the surname of Waller in lieu of his patronymic as the heir of his maternal great-uncle James Waller. The third Baronet was a Major-General. The seventh Baronet was an author and poet and a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. The title became extinct on his death in 1995.
