The Kent baronetcy, of Fornham in the County of Suffolk, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 16 August 1782 for Charles Kent, later Member of Parliament for Thetford. He was the son of the London merchant Sir Charles Egleton, Sheriff of London in 1742, and his wife Sarah Kent; he changed his surname to Kent on inheriting from his maternal grandfather Samuel Kent.
The title became extinct on the death of the 3rd Baronet in 1848.
