Wheler Baronets

There have been two Baronetcies created for persons with the surname Wheler, one in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. One creation is extant as of 2008.

The Wheler Baronetcy, of the City of Westminster in the County of London, was created in the Baronetage of England on 11 August 1660 for William Wheler, Member of Parliament for Westbury and Queenborough, with remainder to his cousin Charles Wheler. The latter succeeded according to the special remainder on the first Baronet's death in 1666. Sir Charles Wheler had earlier represented Cambridge University in the Long Parliament and served as Governor of the Leeward Islands. The ninth Baronet was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army and served throughout the Peninsular War and at the Battle of Waterloo. The tenth Baronet was a Lieutenant-General in the Army.

The Wheler Baronetcy, of Otterden in the County of Kent, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 29 June 1925 for Granville Wheler, Member of Parliament for Faversham. The title became extinct on his death two years later.
