The Broadbent Baronetcy, of Brook Street, London, and Longwood in the County of York, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 10 August 1893 for the noted physician William Broadbent
. The title descended from father to son until the death of his grandson, the third Baronet, in 1987. The late Baronet was succeeded by his first cousin once removed, the fourth Baronet. He was the grandson of Walter Broadbent, third son of the first Baronet. As of 2007 the title is believed to be held by the fourth Baronet's son, the presumed fifth Baronet. However, he has not successfully proven his succession to the title and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant.
