Baron Croft, of Bournemouth in the County of Southampton, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[2] It was created on 28 May 1940 for the Conservative politician Sir Henry Page Croft, 1st Baronet. He had already been created a baronet of Knole in the Borough of Bournemouth in the County of Southampton in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 28 February 1924.[3] Croft was the grandson of Reverend Richard Croft, third son of Dr. Sir Richard Croft, 6th Baronet, of Croft Castle. As of 2010[update] the titles are held by the first Baron's grandson, the third Baron, who succeeded his father in 1997.
