There have been two baronetcies created for people with the surname Dickson, once in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia and once in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.

The Dickson Baronetcy, of Sornbeg in the County of Ayr, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 28 February 1695 for Robert Dickson. The title became either extinct or dormant on the death of the second Baronet in 1760.

The Dickson Baronetcy, of Hardingham Hall in the County of Norfolk, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 21 September 1802 for Archibald Dickson. The sixth holder of this creation was elevated to the peerage as Baron Islington in 1910.
