Touche baronets

There have been baronetcies created for members of the Touche family from Surrey, both in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Both creations are extant as of 2010.

The Touche Baronetcy, of Westcott in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 5 July 1920 for the accountant and Conservative politician George Touche. The third Baronet was Deputy Chairman of National Westminster Bank between 1977 and 1987.

The Touche Baronetcy, of Dorking in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 3 July 1962 for the Conservative politician Gordon Touche. He was Chairman of Ways and Means between 1960 and 1962. Touche was the third son of the first Baronet of the 1920 creation. As of 2010 the title is held by his son, the second Baronet, who succeeded in 1972. As a descendant of the first Baronet of Westcott he is also in remainder to this title.
