The Fisher Baronetcy, of Packington Magna in the County of Warwick, was created in the Baronetage of England on 7 December 1622 for Robert Fisher of Packington Hall, Great Packington, Warwickshire. The second Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Coventry. The third Baronet died without a male heir and the Packington estates passed to his daughter Mary, wife of the Earl of Aylesford. The fourth Baronet died in 1739, when the baronetcy became dormant.[2] An unsuccessful claim was lodged a few years ago. For more information, follow this link.[3]

The Fisher Baronetcy, of St Giles in the County of Middlesex, was created in the Baronetage of England on 19 July 1627 for Thomas Fisher. The title became extinct on the death of the fourth Baronet in 1707.
