The André baronetcy, of Southampton in the County of Southampton, was a title in the baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 4 March 1781 for William André, in recognition of the services rendered by his brother John André, who was executed in 1780 after being convicted of espionage by a Continental Army tribunal during the American War of Independence. The title became extinct on William's death in 1802.
