Richard Cox, ancestor of the Cox Baronets of Dunmanway

There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Cox, one in the Baronetage of Ireland and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Both creations are extinct.

The Cox Baronetcy, of Dunmanway in the County of Cork, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 21 November 1706 for Richard Cox, Lord Chancellor of Ireland. The second Baronet represented Clonakilty in the Irish House of Commons. The title presumably became extinct on the death of the twelfth Baronet in 1873. There were claimants to the title, including most notably the historian and Church of England clergyman, George William Cox, although these were finally rejected in 1915. Richard Cox, Bishop of Ely, was the great-great-grandfather of the first Baronet.

The Cox Baronetcy, of Old Windsor in the County of Berkshire, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 22 January 1921 for the banker Reginald Cox. The title became extinct on his death in 1922.
